Maybe not but I don't know that for sure. And since I never do solo acoustic, I'm not likely going to know in the future.

That goes right to a question I've been wondering about as I'm reading through this thread and the other similar thread... does applying reverb to the track directly weaken the fundamental of the track in a way that does not happen when applying reverb in parallel? I suspect it does but may not be as apparent on a solo acoustic track because you don't have the build up of a weakened fundamental going across numerous tracks. I could just as easily be wrong on that front though.
