hey! just thought i'd jump in, i play a left handed cecilio as well. after about 3yrs with Lei Fang(my violin name...crazy i know), ive learned a tremendous amount, im definitely ready for either another electric or a very warm and rich sounding acoustic. for beginners id say its great, ive moved around a bit and enjoyed the fact that most of my neighbors never knew i played because it was so silent. i like the fact that i can amplify and create different sounds and i like the no effects sound for getting the hang of new things. so in my opinion id say you made a good choice, but ive never played acoustic.....but i love the way they sound

confusion? hmmmm....no not really, i can imagine you would have to adjust little things in technique for either or, but just starting out? i dont think it would make a difference, though ive heard its better to start on acoustic. my choice for electric was soley on convenience, it might not be the same for you. however i will say, its easier in my opinion to focus on the music with headphones
