I have a $25 acoustic and a $199 Strat. I love 'em both. I have the acoustic mounted on my wall, lookin kewl, and I play my electric in concert at a park down my street on most holidays. I just plug it into an extension cord and plug the extension cord into a very kind neighbor of mine's power outlet, with their permission. I had probably 35 people at the most, Thanksgiving day this year.
