you should start with acoustic to build up callouses on your fingertips that every guitar player should have (it will be painful the first couple months of consistent practice) visit musiciansfriend.com and look for some acoustic guitars that fit your budget and read reviews on them. Then go to your local music store (guitar center if there is one whre you live) to test out the guitars you're interested in. Go home and buy it online from musiciansfriend.com if you live in the U.S. (because it's usually way cheaper, you don't have to pay tax and shipping takes about 4 business days usually and It's free if the guitar is over $99.) then all you gotta do is look up tabs to your favorite songs on ultimate-guitar.com and you can start playing! you can also google guitar chords and use those chords to strum your favorite songs, but you're gonna have to find someone to teach you some basic strumming patterns in person. good idea to start playing the guitar, it's a great skill to have. email me with further questions if you need(except about which guitar to get, cus i dont know =/), Id be glad to help.

From a 57 year old professional:
Part of the cost of a guitar is its playing ability; it plays very easily because the strings are closer to the neck/fretboard.
Starting out on a "cheaper" guitar is fine, as long as you get one that doesn't totally tear up your tender fingers. It will take time for your fingertips to get tougher, and they may feel sore for a while; thats all part of it. That will change, but LOOK at the string action on the guitars. LOOK from the side of the neck at the distance between the string and the neck, and buy a guitar that is the best compromise between your budget and ease of fingering.
You'll be glad you did this.

No they don't there is a huge difference in the sound.
Go to a music shop and talk to someone.
My daughter learned on acoustic and then bought a good quality Fender Strat.Around 450. would be a good price for one but that won't include amp and accessories.

it doesn't matter which you start with, just get somehing cheap to learn on. then later you can choose between different types of acoustic and electric guitars, depending on what styles of music you like to play. each has their advantages.
