Here's the thing, I own an Ibanez GRG170Dx and I wanna play acoustic stuff on it too, instead of just rock, metal, those kind of stuff...
I heard that normally, when playing an electric guitar, you just use down strums? I mean, I'm sure down+up strums, chucks, are also applicable when playing the electric guitar right? Especially while playing the acoustic songs?

you can play the electric guitar whichever ways you like. strums, picks, play it like piano (like malmsteen), taps, play with your teeth and what not. strumming applies to both acoustic and electric guitars be it up or down. those "down strum only" is referred to as down strokes and usually only used on palm muted riff.
strumming on an electric guitar however is a tad different. you need to strum lighter than on an acoustic, since the action is lower. it won't sound very nice without reverb though.
