Kieth Richards once advised me to start out on an acoustic and master that, then move up to an electric and learn all trickery that comes with the pedals and effects. The Yamaha fg800 is what you want. Under $200 US dollars, but an incredible guitar. Especially if you are a singer song writer. By the way, Keef was speaking to me on a youtube video, but still lessoned learned. Good luck on your journey!
