To Don

If you've never gotten into nylon guitars, there's one obvious upside, which is that guitar is almost a percussion instrument. There's all kinds of rhythm derived from slapping the body, like in my NZ covers album. Or in this piece that Jane and Owen got us to film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOOMu1nRsBM&ab_channel=NZGuitarQuartet - It's way less effort to play. On a physical level, with a footstool, it's very ergonomic and the tension of nylon strings isn't even noticeable for an electric guitarist. You mostly used an acoustic-electric, but that's still steel strings. The bass strings are still steel gauges, but the top 3 (or 2), are nylon. It'll feel breezy in comparison. One of my students had a version with a pickup inside.
