Yep, that's pretty much the plan, including an electric acoustic eventually. My biggest issue isn't the sound -- I prefer the sound with fingers over picks anyway for what I do, at least for now. It's that the sides of my index and middle fingers get a little tender on the upstroke after awhile and I was hoping to find something I can use for when that happens. The Alaska picks sort of work for that, though I wince at the sound -- who was it in a prior post who likened playing guitar with a pick to holding a roaring monster? That's me, at least right now.

But then I listen to JD play his guitar in his solo shows with (I think) METAL fingerpicks and it sounds so lovely... sigh... off to practice I go... although I'm occasionally convinced that John used magic fairy dust to get that magical sound from his guitar. Nowhere else have I ever heard a guitar sound the way it does under his fingers.
