[font=trebuchet ms]I started on a hollow-body electric, simply because it was easier to play than any of the acoustics I could get at that time for the same money. I've owned several acoustics and electrics over the years, and I offer this observation:

An acoustic guitar will help you learn how to get tone out of your instrument. There's no amplifier or effects to distract you with settings to adjust. Just your hands, your heart, and your guitar.[/font]
