Do you prefer electric or acoustic guitar?

[msc545]

Which do you prefer to listen to, and to play?

I can listen to either depending on the song and my mood, but I prefer to play electric.

I don’t have a preference for either one, honestly. Acoustic is great because you can take it and play it anywhere, there’s no setup needed. Electric is great because there is such a variety of sounds you can get out of it, as well as using pedals, whammy bars, etc.

Hands down, an electric, nylon string acoustic.

Acoustic is more honest, electric is more forgiving

I enjoy both, and like you, it depends on my mood, but most of the time I prefer electric guitar. The variation of sounds an electric guitar (as well as guitar effects, amps, etc.) can produce is equally incredible and unparalleled, and has literally enabled countless genres to exist. I both play as well, and I prefer electric guitar. I own both acoustic and electric guitars.

There's something about the way acoustic sounds that I just can't get passed.

They both have their places, but easy-listening music sounds better when played on an acoustic, in my opinion.

I prefer electric guitar for the sounds that a musician can produce with that. Acoustic guitar sound very nice, came to my mind The Clap by Steve Howe

I like accoustic guitar. Maybe when I retire I will learn how to play.

Personally I like acoustic I just wish I could play properly

I like both in their place in rock electric is powerful and loud

[LiamJHayden]

Both have their place. I love my classical guitars and I love my Ibanez Prestige guitars.
