Rockin' the D!
I have two acoustics (Fender and Ibanez) but truth be told, I really dislike playing the acoustic. I only have them around if a song I'm working on calls for them but I really try and play electric all the time.

When my son first got to LA, he was doing a session, and took out his PRS CU22 Soapbar. Before he played a note, the producer said, "This isn't a metal session. Have you got another guitar?"

For what ever reason, some songs are just right on one. "Girl From Ipanema" and "One note Samba" wouldn't sound good on anything but...
