I've come to the decision to start learning the guitar, and I'm trying to gather up as much info as I can before I go buy one on impulse. (I'm bad with that, lol) I'm thinking about starting with an electric guitar, I've read some of the older threads & gathered from what people have said that they're basically the same, besides electrics needing equipment. I have the extra money to buy all the equipment, and access to a good teacher. I also found a guitar online that I think is decent quality, for a good price. It's relatively cheap, but I think it might make a good beginner's guitar. Here's the link -
What do yall think of it? Should I start out with an electric or an acoustic? I'm just trying to get as many opinions as I can before I dive in doing something wrong, haha. Thanks!
I'm just copyin this from the site, this is all they have on it.
The Squier Bullet is a simple, affordable, and practical guitar designed for beginners and students. The Bullet features a slightly slimmer solid hardwood body, a 21-fret Maple neck with a Rosewood fingerboard, and chrome covered tuners. Three single-coil pickups, a non-tremolo hardtail bridge, and 5-way switching make this a good choice for a first guitar, no matter who you are or what style of music you want to learn.
Technical Info
Body: Laminated
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Machine Heads: Die-cast
Frets: 21
Pickups: 3 single coil
Controls: Master volume, 2 tone
Switching: 3-way

It's brand new, right out of the shop for $119.00. It would just be a temporary guitar until I learned the ropes & can get a better one, so I think it would hold up fine. I don't know about the company's reputation or anything, so I'm not sure how good their guitars are. Anyway, here's a pic:
Ask your teacher first about what kind of guitar is recommended for you as a beginner; some people need to start with nylon string classic type guitars, others can handle the steel-string acoustics without giving up, and though the electric is great, it has its particulars too. Good luck , and whatever you do, keep trying till you learn!
AS somewon else said in another issue I is not recommended that u get an electric Guitar first. I meen if you want to you can but I would suggest u get a decent acoustic Guitar with nylon string then when you feel you are prepared you shoudl by an electic guitar. I would say you shoudl buy the acoustic then practice for aabout 2 months hten buy your electric Guitar it is much easier that way.
