Just get both
Another thing to take into consideration: it is really difficult to adjust the set up on an acoustic, but if the nut is cut properly on an electric, you have way more control over action, intonation, etc etc. Not to mention, any adjustment can be undone, whereas, you can't un-sand the bottom of the acoustics bridge saddle. Hope this helps somebody make a decision.
thank you brother!
I'm currently in music at my school; I typically use electric but for the song we're learning at the moment I'm using acoustic. I thought acoustic guitar was bad because the strings were so rigid and hard to play, then I went into the black room with my band and found another acoustic guitar that was bigger, and I think the strings were different.
So… yeah. Acoustic guitars are pretty cool now in my opinion, I just made an unfair judgement based on one, but I thought it was hard so my respect goes out to anyone who can play it accurately. 🙂
Me recording my acoustic and putting it through a virtual amp:
Buy electric, download acoustic profiles and ir cabs.
Doing barre chords is easier on electric than acoustic but acoustic gives better fundamentals imo

reals ones get hollow body electric
I honestly refer to my electric as a controller like a midi keyboard but with 6 rows of keys instead of 1
Id recommend learning on acoustic. Once i moved to electric it was hard to go back to acoustic because i have WAY more fun playing an electric
Whichever one you get, just make sure it’s well set up!
I started on electric. I got a lot better in my technical chops on acoustic. But when I try to play electric now, it's like a gorilla trying to crochet. There's just way more force now in my muscle memory that just doesn't translate to the nuanced movements/pressure you need to play an electric well (unless you're doing rhythm, especially metal/prog chugs)
also electric guitar with distortion can cover up small mistakes you might not realize your making, like bussing or muting
very experienced guitarist here, get the guitar that will allow you to make the music you want to make and that inspires you.
If you want to ACTUALLY learn guitar, get an electric. You can play a multitude of genres, the strings are easier to press down which is helpful for beginners, and you effectively have an infinite number of ways to modify the guitars sound. If you only want to “play guitar” in a social setting, get an acoustic
Both, really. For a beginner, I would recommend a lighter string gauge and proper action (how far the strings are from the fretboard) above anything else. Go middle of the road on whatever you decide. Obviously, you're not gonna buy a $25,000 Martin and a Marshall stack for your first guitar. But don't get the cheapest thing you can find either. Be ready to spend about $500 on a good quality guitar, acoustic or electric, and about $150-200 on a decent, small amplifier if you choose an electric.
