For your info, I have this electric guitar which I bought many years ago. Brand is Lyon by Washburn. It has a built-in amplifier inside the sound hole of the guitar and uses a 9V battery so it can be brought anyplace to jam or practice.
Another disadvantage of an acoustic guitar is the size. It's bulky (the full size or 41") compared to an electric guitar, which has a thin and contoured shape to easily fit the human body. I have one and am having a difficulty playing with it, especially I am a "newbie" and need to see where my fretting fingers go during chord progressions, so I use the electric guitar mentioned above.
All said, it's up to you to decide! Whichever is comfortable for you, go for it!
