thanks for you answers!!! (: <3

My opinion is you can start out with either. But in my own experience I found out that playing the acoustic guitar first is better. Once you learn all the steps of playing the acoustic guitar, electric gets so much easier. Before I’ve started playing guitar, I’ve always wanted to learn electric, not acoustic, but I learned that I should learn the basics first. And the basic is Acoustic (In my opinion, doesn’t really matter). In acoustic guitar, you don’t have to deal with all the little pegs like the little volume knobs (I mean the knobs are weird), buying the amp, and all those complicated things. So I started off with acoustic. After I learned the basics like, tuning, changing strings, actually taking care of the guitar, playing with the Electric was so much easier afterwards, because I learned how to tune a guitar, change the strings (might be different on both), and taking care of it. Now all I need to learn is to tune those knobs on whichever kind of sound I like. So I suggest going with acoustic first. Electric might seem more ‘FUN’ but so is acoustic. (But just my opinion, choose whichever you want. GO FOR IT). (Just personal experience.)

For the guitar brands you have listed, out of all those brands I gotta say Gibson. All the way. They are a bit pricey, but I love them. If you are going for one of the Gibsons. I suggest the Les Paul. They are really, really neat. The sound is amazing. If you think that Gibson is too pricey. The Epiphone Les Paul works too. It’s really great. Ibanez is cool. And for Fender I would say… the Stratocaster. It makes great music. Really awsome.
So I would say
My first choice is going to be Gibson.
If it’s too expensive I would go with the Epiphone (Les Paul).
Or If you don’t like Les Paul…
Try Fender or Ibanez.
We all have different taste, so I suggest you go to a store and try out all of them. Whichever sound you would like. A store I suggest is Guitar Center. They have great service. They will help you with all your needs.

Also, if you are planning to go acoustic. There are some great guitars out there as well.
For Gibson I’d go with the Hummingbird or Dove ones. (They ARE expensive.) So alternatives to those are Epiphone Hummingbird or Dove.
Or try Martin guitars. Or even Collings (They are amazing.) Also the Taylor guitars are great too!

So you’ve got a lot of choices here. Take your time and don’t rush.

Good Luck with everything!
