I caught the acoustic bug about 2 yrs. ago.I have a couple of friends who are amazing acoustic players, one of them who is well known throughout the blue-grass community.

I never had the touch for the steel string acoustic, so instead gravitated towards the nylon string. I love the tone, soft and mellow like a human voice. I also really enjoy playing with my fingers, it feels like your really connecting w/the instrument, playing w/a pick can be so impersonnal.

I really enjoy the ability to be able to play as a solo instrumentalist, playing solo on the electric does not quite cut it. Starting to get pretty good at it, I have done several solo / instrumental gigs so far and have quite a few more coming up.
