Not to discourage you - simply reminding, that the combinations even at modest budget are nearly endless.
I have solidbody electrics and Guild acoustics w pickups ( most have both udersaddle piezo and a soundhole mounted magnetic pickup wired in "stereo" ). I used to play through a preamp that I built and feed the outputs to PA-rig. After quitting peforming I sometimes connect my guitars in home stereo - CAUTION - easy to blow tweeters - then there's an old Fender Vibro Champ - silverface - and it is really nice FOR WHAT I DO - someone might beg to differ - I also have a small Schaller Pikkolo transistor combo - 1960 ? ? ? - and a VOX Lil' Night Train w whopping 2W all tube power + small VOX cabinet. Night Train has option to connect headphones or line to stereo instead of cabinet. My latest fad is to use a ReVox model 39 tube amp - 1960 - a home stero amp !!! connected to that VOX cabinet - a little tremolo pedal, too.
All these give different results - all pleasing to me and suitable for my needs.
Some people use old tube radios and connect guitar in them.
So you see there's no limit - but you may have to spend some time to come across w what works for you - your music - your style - your budget - etc.
But it is definitively there - just don't give up !!!
