If you budget is under 10k go for Yamaha acoustic guitar. Also you will need guidance of a experience teacher...

If you budget is under 10k go for Yamaha acoustic guitar. Also you will need guidance of a experience teacher to access and understand all the knowledge that is available in the internet. I have 7 year of teaching and 15+year of playing experience. Contact for a free online demo class. Thank you! read less

Start with acoustic. For a beginner needs to understand the basics of guitar. In electric you have to also learn how to handle the amplified sound. I recommend buy electric after minimum 6 month of practice with acoustic.

Don't keep your guitar open. You need some silica gel or a fast fret for preventing rust in strings. And always put the front way (fret board) towards the wall while you're not playing.
