I have the same problem Ragser. I played bass for many years and liked the fact that I had a thumb rest to stabilize my hand. I got into the "bad habit" of resting my pinkie when I switched to acoustic and find myself mutting the first string quite often with my pinkie. I still cannot find a comfortable position that will allow me to stay in contact with the strings without resting that little finger.
