Have to say, electric is better to start with. A good-quality low-cost electric and a cheap practice amp (for example, the incredible Spark) will set you back less than a mid-range acoustic. Even if you buy the guitar online, get it set up at a local shop. You need to do that no matter what you buy.
When you walk into the gym, do you start by bench-pressing 200lbs? Why not? After all, if you can do that, you can easily handle 70lbs (which is what I could do—maybe).
Don’t pile too much on at the beginning. Electric is just SIMPLY easier and doesn’t have to cost more. Get the basics down as easily as you can. There are plenty of challenges to follow, on either type of guitar.
Dang, I have plenty opinions today. Phase of the Moon?
