Never known if this is just me, but at home, 85% of the time I play my electrics acoustically. Does anyone else?
If I'm just picking one of my guitars up to practice, or even just to hold it (now that does sound weird!), I rarely plug it in, even though I have my Roland practice amp right by my sofa.
Obviously, outside of the home, or if I'm jamming with mates I always plug in, but at home, I rarely do!
Is it just me? I guess it depends on the style of music you play - I generally just noodle blues licks, and play with very little if any distortion on my amp anyway.

just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
Whereas...practicing at home with a small practice amp, responding in a completely different way to my live rig, simply did not work (for me)
Maybe the Yamaha THR (or similar) has solved this problem?? (Other than feeling air move)

I've often wondered why there are 'guitars' and an 'acoustics' categories rather than 'electrics' and 'acoustics' (goes off to get a life).
PS - I always plug my electrics in.
Often tempted to get a 1 watt thingy but the point of playing in the house for me is the 'grab and go' aspect, quick easy and not having to bother on plugging in etc.
