I've been playing both. I almost always have more fun with my electrics though, due to me being a metal head.

I pretty much only play acoustic when I'm teaching or at the cottage. Electric is just soooo much more fun to me.

I don't own an acoustic. Just electrics and a classical. I really don't like many 6 string acoustics. I prefer 12 strings, resonators, or certain Ovation 6 strings. Nothing else does it for me.

PRS phase. Paul knows what he's doing for sure. Next to the LPCL it's probably my go to guitar.
Prior to this I was in the acoustic and mandolin phase. Need to complete the makeover on my dreadnaught though. Did a lot of work on the frets, just need to give it a
ew bone nut and saddle.

I'm somewhere in the middle right now. The acoustic gets very little use normally, but I'm trying to nail a piece at the moment and that's the sound I need.

If I've fired my electric rig up more than 5 times in the last year or two I'd be surprised. At some point I need to consider offloading some guitars and amps.
What I would like to do is get down to 1 amp and 3 electrics. I'd probably keep the 65 Amps Head/Cab and sell everything else off (6 or so guitars and a Marshall and Splawn head). Then get a nice Strat/Tele/Les Paul.

I'm usually where you are but I've been wanting to add a new dimension to my acoustic show so I've been running my Strat clean into the board via a Zoom floor box for a Blackface clean tone with a touch of reverb. It sounds surprisingly good. I've been working with just my fingers and doing some Jimmy Buffett tunes like "Boat Drinks" and "Pencil Thin Mustache". Also working up some of my own blues tunes and a solo version of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". I hope to bring the finger style back to the acoustic as soon as I get better at it and thicker skin on my picking fingers.

I can't go a day without playing my LTD Viper 100 FM.

I might play my acoustic once every month. If that.
Mainly because it sucks.

My brain is in an acoustic phase (Days of The New red album ftw) but my body is in a "YOU HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD, KEEP IT IN THE CASE" phase.

My Telecasters are tuff enuff for daily toddler use, but that Guild deserves to be taken care of.

I've been focusing on electric right now. I'm in the process of selling off more than half of my gear and I'm focused on getting down to a Fender Tele, Gibson ES-335 and a Fender Vibrolux Reverb and I'm liking the simplicity. Tele is giving the twang and the ES-335 has such a unique chirp and jazzy warmth to it. Playing clean has been a whole lot of fun lately. Once I sell off some pieces, I think I'm going to hunt down a Fender RI Tweed Deluxe and a Gibson J-45 and call it a day. I'm by far the happiest I've ever been lately with my tone.
