OMA, all the best to you...now that's determination...and ya gotta love it to do it...
If you're plugging in, an A/E with a soundhole cover would work just fine...and take some towels along to wipe down the guitar (and self) from time to time...more power to you...

I don't think I would plug in at all in the rain. I don't think it is safe. That leaves out the electrics.

Besides if it is only acoustic, they might be tempted to get close enough to throw money too.

I think it's worth repeating..

Academy... Sounds great, no wood. Seems like a no brainer.

Yeah Miles... I had one and I sold it.

Today it wasn't raining, I took out the Uber-Deacon!
The guitar got a lot of compliments.

As to the Safety of playing electric in the rain... It is only a 9v amp.
My concern would be damaging the guitars.
That is why I have cheap guitars for crappy weather. :p

I don't usually play in the rain but, if I had to I would use my smaller gigging DC amp: Crate TX50DB. No AC to worry about and perfect for gigging. He did say his amp is in his backpack so I guess it's DC also.

or maybe the question should be what would you survive better using?
