Well for one, what is your budget for a guitar? Im sure if you go to your local music store you can find cheaper electric and acoustic guitars that could fit your budget. It wont be the best of guitars, but that's why you should go ahead and try em out first to see witch one plays better.

But if it were me, I would get the electric guitar, just because you can get an acoustic sound with an electric, but at the same time, you can get those crunchy riffs.
