As far as the electric goes, @the-old-coach , I have owned several electric guitars, 5 if I remember correctly. I have sold all but one. I just didn’t hardly ever play them. I don’t want to plug in a guitar. I want to pick it up and play. That’s all. Also, I don’t like the sound of electrified guitar as much as acoustic guitar.
However, notice that I have owned a number of them. Also notice that I still own one. Oh yeah, and I still own 4 amps. Why? Why not. I can if I want to. Someday, maybe I’ll play more with electric sound. It’s all guitar. In the meantime, I have quite a bit of electronic equipment that I don’t use. But I keep it because as long as I own it, I could play music with these electronic gadgets. But if I sell them, then I can’t use them without rebuying them. That’s part of the reason I refuse to part with the last electric. Besides, it’s a jazz guitar, so it’s half acoustic anyway. It’s an Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor II and I’m sure that I will play it more cause it’s so cool.
Then, you have the guitar geeks that actually play electric more often, or as often, as acoustic. They may not tell us because they might think we’d think less of them. Heck no. Let me say it again: guitar is guitar. I happen to like acoustics better. Others happen to like electrics better. Who cares.
Here’s the final thought: what do you like? Guess what, you’ll never know if you don’t buy an electric. Get the Strat, plug it in, and rock out. Then let us know what you thought. We can always listen to your confession later and absolve you of all your overdrive sins. 🤣
