Buying a guitar is a very personal choice, both in terms of the type of guitar you choose as well as the money you want to invest in it. Most guitar tutors, experts, and professional recommend that if you want to learn and master guitar in the truest sense, then you should opt for acoustic guitars (because it allows you to make your basics stronger and is low-priced) initially and then gradually shift over from acoustic to electric when you have become proficient enough in playing the acoustic guitar.
