There are some who would say that acoustic instruments are tragically un-hip and archaic. Then there are those that think electrification is some sort of abomination.

I suspect that when Og the caveman tried different sizes of logs and sticks to beat together, some thought that he was creating awful noises that weren't the "pure" traditional sound of stick on log.

Electric is not less nor more, it's just different. A true musician will select the appropriate instrument (or lack thereof) and degree of electrification to express her music -- the rest is simply ephemera.

While you may enjoy avoiding electric, remember that those acoustic instruments you are playing haven't remained static in their appearance and sound over the decades and centuries, and are not some sort of fixed media that reproduces the song as it was originally intended.
