Id suggest starting out on acoustic for the same reason 6strngs suggests electric: It's harder to play acoustic guitars, i think. If you start on acoustic and learn how to play it properly, the transition to electric will be really easy. Just get a cheap Yamaha acoustic or something. But if you really have your heart set on an electric, go for it!
