Yeah, I think you should really own both. But I play my acoustic a lot more because I love the sound and naturalness to it.

I love both, but I prefer electric. If it came down to me buying an acoustic or another electric, I'd still get electric.

I like them both. Acoustic is just a great natural sound. Electric is fun to noodle with different sounds ond effects pedals.

I listen to a ton more acoustic in my music, but electric can sound so badass. Some guitarists can really make those babies sing.

it really depends on the mood, emotion, and how the artist(s) intend to convey either.

Yeah, I'd say both...But seeing acoustic songs played live is really incredible.... It just has more emotion attached to it, but it's probably because acoustic songs by nature are more emotional... I kind of prefer playing acoustic, but electric is easier to play..

Yup....if you're interested its from the movie No Country For Old Men. The gun makes an awesome sound as well, although I doubt it could be done like it was in the movie in real life

I prefer Acoustic, but Electric isn't bad at all.

It really depends on who's playing it.

i know what movie it is. I wanna watch, but im kinda waiting for a purchase of a PS3 to watch on Blu-Ray (as well as SpiderMan3 and others.)

Thats sick though man. But the shotgun looks a bit smaller from others. That silencer is only made for that type of gun aint it?

Acoustic. Acoustic will always win in my books, regardless of the instrument, unless it's an instrument that is exclusively electric.

Well, I don't know if one even exists, because in the novel of NCFOM it says that the silencer is 'home made'

Acoustic is just more intimate and promotes exploration of its own potential rather than expanding it with flashy effect pedals.

I love both. I would prefer to play an acoustic or semi-hollow electric most of the time so I don't have to set up and hook up anything.

Electric mostly since that's what's in most songs I listen to

But Mrs.Robinson by Simon and Garfunkel just wouldn't be right without acoustic :)
