I don't know... The world has plenty of interesting guitarists working in the acoustic format and doing stuff that is out of the ordinary. I don't see why Sonic Youth as a group shouldn't be able to be among them. Yes, acoustic music has been badly polluted by the unplugged craze, but just because some musicians have so little imagination that to them acoustic has to mean seventies-singer-songwriter, doesn't mean that everyone will be that way. I would see an acoustic SY as being more John Fahey than John Denver.
