Acoustic or Electric....?
My approach for playing acoustic is very different from how i play electric. Some might say; "Um, Ah duh, dude!" Even so, many players don't apply this knowledge in a musical way.

Re. Practice : "Practice" mostly on an acoustic. That's formal practice of scales chords, those muscular bends, fretting notes for tone etc. Then go to the electric to work out your ideas there.

Re Developing Tone: Working out solos out on acoustic will surely help your tone on the electric. Vintage guitars and amps are great but true tone come from your hands. Developing a dynamic feel to the way you pick and fret notes is as important as developing your chops. You should be able to play the same note w/ multiple "feels" to add color and your personality to your tone.
