But if you start off with an acoustic, playing on the electric will be way easier later on.

In my transition from acoustic -> electric, my fingers almost shouted " thank you " to me haha.

Tho my electric weren't all that great, but you can play somehow easier?

Thats what I experienced.

bman , my reason for starting with acoustic is because I started off with acoustic guitar lessons

Up till theres this one time I wanted to play electric, my dad got me one
and so when I played electric it felt heaven.haha

Though right now a nice classical guitar would really make me happy,
Need to write some tunes up .
