Which guitar should I have? Its simple really. I solved my problem by having about 25 guitars. Some are electric, some arent. Like the tee-shirt says" He who has the most guitars wins". I bet this doesnt solve your problem. Right now follow your instructor, you or someone is paying him good money to teach you. You have plenty to learn in just basics. Later when you do get an electric guitar you will have even more to learn. Dont over load right now. Spend the time right now looking for and priceing that electric of your dreams and learning the basic of the guitar, which regardless of what you play, you need to learn.
