When I play the Tele I usually have the volume set at 3 or 4 to cover my lack of "feel" for the thing. None of my acoustics have pickups in them, although that's something I am going to be looking into in the near future. Playing live I have to mike the guitar and that produces all sorts of difficulties, the key being I have to keep the guitar at a constant distance from the mike. It looks as if I'm going to have to concede to progress, albeit in a minor fashion, and get one of those super duper transducer pickups.

I do indeed (check link in my signature if you care to). And I use an electric 90% of the time. Sometimes I will write a song on acoustic then transpose it to a full blown electric track. most of the time though I will write some lyrics or maybe lay down some rhythm guitars to a click track and build up all sorts around it. A better example of a song I wrote on acoustic and transposed would be "Into The Sky" which you can find on my purevolume page (notice link in signature again). Most other things tend to happen the other way.
I have en electro-acoustic but don't love it. It's difficult to play and the sound isn't superb. Putting a pickup in one of my better acoustics might be the way to go for me but I dunno yet. I need a bass next lol.
