The electric strings are easier to fret energy-wise, but more challenging due to the shape and maybe, as you say Eracer_, scale length. I'll have to check. It has a telecaster neck (I don't know one from another yet) that feels awkward after playing the acoustic. The strings are low with no fret vibration originally. (It's time to restring both.) I'll still have someone check the setup. Thanks Fretless!

Hi Jeff, I'm a fellow newbie taking my second crack at the course. I knew I wanted to play both types of guitar, so I bought both. My acoustic is a nice Larrivee I found for a good price on Reverb. It plays like a dream and sounds wonderful. I didn't intend to go all out right away, but I'm glad I did. When I'm having a challenge, my breakthroughs often come while playing this guitar. My electric is a Squire Modified '51 that I like a lot, but as a bargain guitar, it is more challenging to play. I bought a second amp not long ago when Sweetwater was blowing out their Blackstar Artist 10ae amps. I totally love the sound of this amp, everything I've heard from it. I most highly recommend getting an amp whose sound you really like. The sweet sound (to me anyway) brought my enjoyment of electric practice on par with my acoustic practice. Before I had to force myself to play electric on alternate days. The two types of guitars feel much different while playing, in my limited experience.
