I seem to have found myself...

... in an acoustic duo, playing mandolin and singing. It's fun, but I'm used to headbanging and playing loud gainy electric guitar! Oh well, variety is the spice of life and all that.

Init bud. I've recently made the switch from lead guitar in a pub rock band to bass guitar in a trad folk group. I'm finding the folk stuff to be really enjoyable. Plus the beer is better.

It can be fun, one of the music teachers I worked with a few years ago had a folk act that included an acoustic version of "Enter Sandman" that was pretty cool.  They also did most of the usual Celtic standards.  I found that it's quite often easier to get gigs with a smallish acoustic based outfit too.

Back in my yoof I would take all kinds of dep gigs and one was playing electric guitar in a folk band. Brilliant fun and I ended up being the dep longer than any regular guitarist they ever had. I'd do the same again if the chance came up.
