Guitar Sound

Does an electric acoustic guitar sound different than a regular electric guitar?
When plugged in, what is the sound difference between an electric acoustic guitar and a normal electric guitar? Or is it entirely dependent on the amp?
It is most usual to plug in an acoustic-electric into an acoustic amplifier to attain the acoustic feel and essence. On the other hand, plugging an acoustic into an amplifier used primarily for electric guitars will produce harsh and heavy tones possibly unlike what the artist may wish to hear.
I use a Fender Acoustisonic amp for my acoustics and an old Woodson with a Zoom 504 foot switching mechanism to produce the different tones I need for my Gretsch Nashville.
The answer? The type of amplifier makes the difference.
