acoustic put away

OK, I solved the problem. I found that I can play fingerstyle on my electrics -- my fingers have toughened up enough. So I don' t need the nylon acoustic. Note that my fingerstyle playing is a little ragged and untrained. I'm not very systematic or smooth; I more like claw at the strings! But I like the rough quality of it. It's more like plucking with five fingers, or fewer if needed. And then strumming downward with the back of my fingernails. I like it so far.

I've got the yamaha pacifica out as my "cheapie" guitar to play when I don't want to be so careful. I can grab it at a moment's notice and play -- unplugged of course.
