@dkabanad, I apologize at the onset. This is not going to be helpful at all. But I certainly can not help, and I'm doubtful if anyone else can, without knowing your answer to #1. We need to know if you want to purchase an acoustic or an electric.

Help us help you! Let us know if you want to start with an electric or acoustic. Of course, you can start learning on either. There are some great instructors and also very knowledgeable students that will provide intelligent direction once we know.

And before long you will be doing more than just dreaming "of playing rock and blues solos"!
