Wot - no acoustic?

usedtobe

For the first time since I started guitar-bothering, many moons ago, I suddenly (as of last week) find myself without an acoustic guitar. And it feels kinda weird!

I started on acoustic (a built like a tank Eko, out of the calalogue) and got an electric (which, despite many comings and goings, I still have) about 3 years later. I've always felt more an electric player, if anything, but I've always liked my acoustic, and have gone through more acoustic phases.. I tended to write on acoustic, mainly..

Never had super-amazing expensive guitars, but I enjoyed them all. 

Over the years, I've had:

Eko Rio Grande, a low end Takamine electro (which sounded better acoustic than plugged in!), Epi EJ200, Washburn D10s, Tanglewood TW130 electro, and a Seagull Entourage Rustic Mini Jumbo. 

I only once, for a short time, had 2 at the same time, which was when I had the Seagull and the Tanglewood. When my last band finished, 3 years ago, I had a bit of a clear out, and the Seagull went.

I'm about to set out to find myself a 'nice' acoustic and I put the TW up for sale, thinking it would take as long as some of my electric's have taken to sell, but it went in about a week.

I don't think I could manage for any length of time, without an electric (or 4) either, but I've never had to.. It'll be a few weeks before I'm sorted. I want a guitar I'm going to keep, and be happy with...

I've gone on a bit, I know, but damn - it does feel strange..!

I'd find it hard to go without an acoustic these days, I'm playing more acoustic now that I don't gig anymore, sometimes it's down to laziness because I can't be arsed with all the electrical gubbins but more often than not I just prefer the rich sound of a nice acoustic, preferably a 12 string.

I could have posted that exactly, so I'll just borrow yours .
