And when it's not his show and he gets invited onstage he'll pick up an electric guitar and he is incredibly skilled & fast in different styles there too. You can find videos with him holding his own with the electric "shred gods" in styles that in no way resemble his preferences.
He's incredibly well rounded.

I saw him on the tele - just a variety show in Melbourne from memory - playing Steve Via style on his Tele plugged into a twin with a curly lead. No pedals, no nothin' to help.
