I have an acoustic and an electric - both are Squire (Fender). The electric is a Squire Fender Strat Affinity Series. Very nice. Sounds awsome - its lightweight, but still a solid body. And I dont have to push hard on the strings at all - they sit like 2mm from the bars compared to my acoustic which is hard to play cause they sit about 10mm from the bars. Its awsome.

I started playing months ago on my brothers left handed guitar -0 I just flipped it over and played it right handed (so the strings were backwards basically) Learned to play that - it was also acoustic that I had to push hard on. My fingers have grown calice's so its easy for me play now on any guitar - acoustic or electric. I honestly prefer acoustic now because on my strat i end up pushing too hard and the strings will slide sideways and throw the pitch off a bit... ...

but I am still learning as I go. Its fun. The electric is also very fun too - I can play more songs on it that the acoustic - but I have to concentrate harder on pushing softer on the strings. hehe.

The acoustic I still play alot too so that I keep my fingers strong. But when I play with the group I play on the electric. I can hold any chord, I can slide pitch more than anyone in the group, I can pluck strings faster and smoother than anyone in my group... ... I just dont know what the hell I am doing tho. Which makes me the worst player of us all. lol. Nick will be like "Lets play BLAH" or whatever and I'm like "... ..." I dont freakin know what to do. lol. But they are workin with me. We like to play songs that we know so that we can practice the fingers and shit - builds up the strength and steadyness... And you learn great chords and skills too... Then start making up your own shit. Thats what Nick does. He already has a pretty decent lead guitar part for my poem/song 'Trapped' (which is on this site) And I am trying to learn it with him and try to make it better...

But yeah - I forgot where I was going with this post, Bono... sry. My mind just went "... ..." lol
