Default Anyone here given up acoustics in favor of electrics?

I have 2 nylon string and 4 steel string acoustics, and one electric guitar, a pre-lawsuit Les Paul knockoff by Ibanez which I bought in 1975 used...but in excellent condition. I find that the older I get, the more I play the electric primarily because it's so thin and my right shoulder complains when I spend to much time on a fat bodied guitar.

Currently, I do pretty much all my practice on the Ibenez, but then switch to an acoustic a few days before gigging, and always play acoustic when on stage. And my style is pretty much folksy stuff, finger picking, singing, and classical guitar depending on the gig which doesn't seem to lend itself that well to electric...or does it in the right hands?

Just wondering if any of you electric guitar players moved away from acoustics and play your electrics for most all your playing? Or have you been primarily electric players who've picked up acoustic guitar along the way?
