also depends where you want to practice and then play.
Can you live with a smaller amp and headphones if you go electric.
I bought an Orange Mini Crush practice amp and headphones as I wanted quiet practice.
Acoustic can be dulled but you might lose some feedback from your tones.
I've started with a Squire Bullet Mustang guitar which is one of the cheaper lines from Fender. It will serve it's purpose to learn and noodle on in a bedroom.
Happy with the amp but maybe a Vox plug in would have suited my needs just as good.
Working through the fundamentals practicing my scales and already the GAS is setting in.
Should I buy another electric the next step up.
Another with different pick ups
or should I add an acoustic to compare the differences.
It can get addictive and expensive
I can resist temptation until the end of the year and I will then consider what progress I have made.
