Yes, it is possible to shred on an accoustic guitar. While I am aware that most people view guitar-shredding as ridiculously-fast soloing, I find that accoustic shredding actually packs quite a lot of feeling and meaning to it. Sure, it's not as fast but, for a guitar that requires quite a lot of strumming and fretting strength, it's still quite impressive.
If you want an example, think "the 50s'.
One of the threads on the Archie Comics Fan Forum (http://www.archiefans.com/) has an interesting discussion on the use of the tambourine in bands. While you don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how to use it, it is, in a way, quite important when playing simple Archies-style bubble-gum pop. As such music is best listened to when it is being played fairly slowly, the tambourine is meant to be used as a metronome so that the music is kept as a tight, slow but enjoyable package.
On a side note, I've bought a few new Archie Comics earlier today. Once I've read 'em a few times, I'll get around to reviewing them (comic: full story, digests: new stories only).
