HERE'S WHAT I THINK

Guitars:Electric vs. Acoustic

I like both types of guitars but I have to say an electric acoustic is best of both worlds.

YOUR TURN!

Which guitar do you like best?

Electric

ctikison says:

I have both...an acoustic was my first. Maybe better to learn on an acoustic, but electrics are funner for rock/metal :)

TheGreenerMe says:

I have to say electric but I was brought up on electric guitar rock, not acoustic.

POPCORN says:

i also like both but............ i have to say electric ^-^

Acoustic

OhMe says:

Acoustic just because the vibration of the electric guitar bothers my ears.

Tiddledeewinks says:

How about an electric acoustic guitar. That's the best!

NightSquid says:

They both have their purpose but I like Acoustic myself
