+ 1 on this. With my two most recent acquisitions, after initially trying to adapt the guitar to my playing style, I eventually evolved to adapting my playing style to each guitar's strengths, and found myself re-voicing songs and trying new chord variations, as well as improvising melodies inspired by the new tones and colors. I also discovered that I enjoy playing certain songs more on certain guitars. Sort of a high class problem to have, and you have to decide if what you get out of it is worth what it costs, but the experience described above resonates with me.
