How did he expect that to work, when it doesn't even have an amp?

Cause the comic was made in 1949, most people only knew acoustic.

But that inevitably leads to the next question: How did he expect to make this joke in 1949? He should have known that Jimi Hendrix hadn't even started playing guitar by then.

Because people had heard of electric guitars

I think he's just expecting the player piano version of a guitar.
