fender electric instruments

I wanted to buy a guitar. i wanted an acoustic/electric…is that ok for a beginner or should i just stick?
with just the acoustic.i really want to learn the great instrument of the guitar…any good brands out there other than fender?or what types would u prefer.thanks appreciate it.
appreciate all the answers…and when i say acoustic/electric i mean the acoustic electric guitar not the electric guitar…thanks!
An electrified acoustic is no different than an un-electrified one in the way it plays. Good brands are: Gibson, Fender, Takamini, Yamaha, Ovation, Martin, Carvin…etc. My Ovation acoustic is electrified.
