I like acoustic quite a bit. I have been trying to get a Takamine 12 string for awhile now. I really like the chorus sound. :w:

Probably 30% of my playing is on acosutic. Sometimes I don't pick it up for 7-10 days, but I always gravitate back to it for periods of time.

I keep meaning to get an acoustic because it's such a nice change of feel from electric. For me playing acoustic just simplifies everything, and I can really focus on just taking in the richness of the natural overtones. It's nice to sit down with a couple friends and strum out a couple songs.

I got a cheap fender acoustic, in D tuning as well. I use it late at night when I don't feel like hearing an electric. The hardwood floors and very spartan decor in my music room make it sound really big.

I've got two acoustics, one electric/acoustic, four electrics, and an electric bass. All, except for the bass, get played at least once a week....many times more than that. Each one has it's own personality, sound, and playability.

I have a Dean Performer electric/acoustic that is really nice to play. It's nice to just pull it out and pick on whenever without having to worry about being near a power outlet.

Come to think about it, the strings are starting to sound a bit dead. Any suggestions for a good sounding acoustic string brand? I like a lot of twang :sweet:
