In regards to the acoustic vs electric-
What type of music do YOU want to play?
If you’re a strumming folk music, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Beatles, swooning girls with romantic songs kinda guy then get an acoustic.
If you want to jam out to Metallica, learn the Stairway solo, impress your bros then get an electric.
If you think you want to do both then get an electric because you can at least get away with playing acoustic songs on electric and still sound okay. The opposite isn’t always true with an acoustic.
Guitar playing is fun and if you play music/songs you like the more you’ll play, the better you’ll get, and the more likely you are to stick with it.
