Good idea! In fact this was my original idea and this is what I did before. But, somehow I let the guitar shop guy talk me into buying a steel stringed acoustic. I had two requests 1) not too noisy 2) versitile. I said "I am buying a guitar today" which I ordinarily wouldn't do except, in this situation, tere are no less than 10 guitar shops with 3 blocks.

This guy likes me and so I took his suggestion to buy this beautiful black S.Yairi acoustic. I think the guitar is a nice one and I think he cut me a great deal except that I cannot see any advantage of a steel stringed acoustic over either a nylon stringed acoustic(classical) or an electric. Is there any? I have the lightest strings I can buy and I still am having trouble getting a decent pull-off without having to man-handle the strings.
