Horse with no name..acoustic..electric

Lon,prs

Just a question regarding the title..

Why does playing horse with no name sound right on acoustic but just odd on my electric?

2 chords but it sounds completely wrong on electric clean..

I've only been trying to play for 40 years so be gentle

I suppose an acoustic is quite large and full sounding  which suits the song.  

I thought it was an acoustic song anyway . You could try adding a bit of chorus to the electric to give a faint 12 string sound  probably a bit of reverb to make it sound more airy like you’re in a big room/hall etc . But I think it sounds best on acoustic . 

Classic song

Yes..I guess that's probably bang on..
As with many songs..
Acoustic dose have that nice unique sound..

Thanks
