word of advice.
yes, if you like electric, start with electric, not acoustic, the playing style and learning totally diff.

i started with acoustic (not good anyway) but its hard for me to pick up electric style. so i enjoy playing acoustic style but dreaming of electric.

another point of electric, understand what you kind of sound you like. its it rock (more fat sound) or blue-ish jazzy (thinner sound).

for rock, try google for guitars styled after les paul (with humbucker "fat" pickup), for blue-ish jazz, google for guitar style like stratocaster (with single coil "thin" pickup).
