Or vice versa?

Playing both broadens my horizons in both directions.

Let me toss out this (perhaps controversial) view.

Electric Guitar and Acoustic Guitar are two different instruments. They have a lot in common, but they are as different as a ukulele and a double bass.

Thats only because the uke is so small and the bass is so big.

I was told many years ago, and it was a big help, that when you're playing electric guitar you are actually playing the amplifier. Many people who struggle with electric try to play it like it's an acoustic guitar and it isn't. That being said, playing any other instrument helps you play all other instruments, imho.   :beer
