Yeah, I like taking a hard line on these things. I do use electric, it's just not the first thing I reach for. I have a cavacade of ideas based upon the use of the guitar as an electro-acoustic source - I can make weird sounds without relying upon someone else's circuit boards (or circuit boards at all for that matter).
Like I say, I'm not laying into anyone here, but I do think that if you want to make your guitar sound different, unique, stand out from the crowd, then you should look to what your hands are doing first and spread out from there.
Perhaps I should elaborate - say you want to play in a West African style - a lot of people would listen to the records and then attempt to emulate the style by buggering about with the amp and using maybe a reveb or a ring-mod. However, styles such as those are all about the pressure of the hands, the patterns with the left, the intricacy of the right. So, while I may not have the exact sound down pat, in looking to the mechanics of the music, I am better able to emulate the technique.
But yes, otherwise, points taken with due humility.
