Not IMO.

[br]The two are simply different. Vive la différence!

So you're going to face the problem regardless, and it will seem even worse as your skills grow with electric and you stumble making the transition trying to replicate them on acoustic.

I play both and have been pretty much since my return/starting out. Just use them in lesson and song parallel. The two compliment one another.

My only suggestion would be to ditch the Dread unless you're going to be playing unamplified in a giant auditorium..All acoustics aren't equal, and full disclosure, I 'fess I make no secret of my detestation for the Dreadought body.

Get yourself a slimline cutaway smaller bodied (e-) acoustic with faster flatter slimline neck, tighter string spacing and set up by saddle and nut design for lower action & 12s. Or if you don't want to go that rad, at least a Concert full body acoustic with a lighter string gauge.
