I am just beginning to learn to play guitar. At home, I practice on an acoustic (Washburn), but my friends and I often play at school during lunch. Several people keep their guitars at school, and we like to get together and jam for a while. I have noticed, however, that I seem to play much better on an electric than on my acoustic. Why is this? I think I read somewhere about electric guitars having thinner strings, but is that the only reason?
Electric guitars can have thinner strings, plus the neck is thinner, and the strings are closer to the frets.

It's the guitar neck. The guitar neck is thinner on a Electric guitar, that's why its easier to play. It has nothing to do with the strings…Good luck

I think it's the body style an acoustic guitar has a wider thicker body than an electric.

Don't forget that an electric guitar is amplified and just the fact of placing or hammering your fingers on the neck, will produce a sound without even picking it.
