Reddit mentions of Neewer 12 Hole Sound Pickup Acoustic/Electric Transducer Microphone Wire Amplifier Speaker for Acoustic Guitar Good

I have this pickup, which looks to be the same, but is half the price, and it works fine with Rocksmith. You also need a coupler.

With the recent update, you can now use a USB microphone to pick up the sound. I haven't tried it yet with my acoustic, but it worked well with the mic in front of my amp.

Getting it on the PC has the big advantage of being able to play custom DLC. If his tastes aren't mainstream, that could be especially important.

Or hit eBay and buy four beat up electrics for the same price.

​

Guitar rig or a host of various VST plugins for DAWs out there are the better answer.

You're not going to make your dreadnought into a vintage Les Paul in terms of laying out howling, sustain laden leads, but if you're wanting to lay down some filthy power chords, you can get the job done, more or less.

When you do have some cash, go take a look at your local brick and mortar guitar shop. They're probably going to have a $100 guitar/amp package for you. Amazon has them right now, starting at about $85. After that, a cheap audio interface for your computer will make your computer much much better at handling the audio; the Behringer UM2 is perfectly fine for around $35, and you'll be amazed at the quality of suspended cardoid mic you can get for around the same $35 nowadays.

Here's a bonus $8 solution: https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Acoustic-Transducer-Microphone-Amplifier/dp/B00ADHKKZK?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_1 Keep in mind that you get what you pay for, and you'll still need somewhere to plug in.

Good luck!

This probably isn't be the best place to ask, but does anyone know what kind of pickup I need? I've got a cheap acoustic guitar without an output, and I just need something that works with the game. I don't care about concert quality sound, just that it can match accurately in the software.

I saw both of these on Amazon, not sure if the cheaper piezo would be good enough:

I assume this one would work, though I'll have to check if I have metal or nylon strings:

Any advice?

and a instrument to USB cable like this one

Plus a $6 female to female adapter and your all set. Can play rocksmith with it or use amp and fx modelers on your computer using your acoustic.
