Imagine a Pete Townshend frenzy, smashing an Acoustic!!!! Or The Eagles throwing in some Zack Wylde squeaks while performing Hotel California. It's just different styles of playing and many (not all) performers are better (Or prefer) one style over the other, 10 songs to one. Some players, IMO, have proven to have an equal gift playing either instrument, like Jimmy Page, The Eagles, etc..... some Acoustic, some Electric and some combined recordings, which all receive high merit.

If you had the opportunity to sit down and jam with ONE of these players for two hours, Who would it Be?????
Jimi Hendrix...............
John Denver..............
Randy Rhoads............
Bob Dylan.................
Dimebag...................

Satch......................

EVH.........................
Jeff Beck..................
John Petrucci............
Jimmy Page..............
BB King....................
Slash......................
John Lennon.............
Marty Friedman.........
Eric Clapton..............
Frank Gambale...........
Vai..........................
Sheryl Crow..............

Being able to only choose one will show what style is most important to you...
