Location: Reno, NV | I know this is an A/E bulletin board so the poll might be skewed. What do you prefer to play most often. Acoustic (non amplified) or Solid Body Electric (ie Strat, LP etc..) |

Location: PDX | For me it's about 70:30 in favor of electrics. In the music room i have three guitar stands. Two have electrics and one an acoustic; a Telecaster, a Swan, and a 1547.
getting the most play.

| Ovation wrote the book on quality A/E guitars...I still have an op24 Legend and whenever I plug it in, it still has no rival..
Always the best of both worlds. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | Or the people downstairs! Actually, a well played acoustic played at 9PM, with the sound drifting thru the walls is sort of pleasant. An at volume electric is rude. Of course, you could do what I do and wear headphones, but you didn't ask that. |

Location: Tennessee | Both. Just depends on the mood and what I want to work on. I don't have anyone upstairs or downstairs. And plenty of space between the clowns on the left of me and jokers to the right. :cool: |

Amplified, Accoustic.....loud enough that any other acoustic would feed back. Voice, slightly louder. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | I would think that it would be a given, in this forum, that the acoustic side would "win". I personally find I prefer to play S/B electric most of the time these days, though.
Acoustics definitely have their uses, though, and I'm not giving up on them.
