Hi derecola...
Acoustic guitars sound generally crappy through most electric amps - particularly the open backed ones. Open back amps tend to be harsh sounding, but even the closed back amps are 'slanted' toward reproducing magnetic pickups tone not acoustic tone. they also tend to manifest the most extreme sensitivity/propensity to feeding back.
Keyboard amps with coaxial or speaker/tweeter/horn combinations on the other hand sound pretty good with acoustic guitars.
