Honestly get both, a cheap *** yamaha travel acoustic will have the nice fat action and thick strings you'll want to build hand strength. Play everything super clean on that, then get a sweet score from a pawn shop/used guitar dealer.
I found an 80's Jackson Soloist for $250 at a local pawnshop. It was ------- silver-purple with a glazed metal finish, Seymore Dunc's up front and a single EMG old style humbucker (screwface) in the rear, I re-wound it when I got it.
Sold that ****** for $600

This is my setup. Old-*** Peavey Tracer with a shaved headstock( Jackson wannabe)
EMG active pickups and floyd rose tremolo. Tuned to drop C with DR Zakk Wylde strings.
Randall RG100sc two 12 combo.
I also have a Peavy 5150 two 12 combo amp. No pics yet.

Re: guitar thread
I rock a beat up Ibanez Gio with seymore duncan's and thin nickel steel Dean Markley strings...it's basically a gibson style knock off, but I've lowered the strings down ultra close to the fret board and reworked the neck and mounting point to get an ultra-fast and smooth action out of it. It works for now until I can afford an Ibanez Jem. :P

It cost abotu 2300 bucks brand new with a little 15 watt amp and removeable tattoos but the action is fast as ----, so I decided to pull some of the crappy CDM ---- out and put hot pick ups in it. now it screams it *** off with a semor duncan hotrail and a DOD death metal pedal through a laney 80 watt.
you want good fast cheap action go get you a cheap *** gibson or fender and swap out the pickups. that semor ducan was like 150 i think 200 installed at the shop and that was like a good 8-10 years ago but seriousl I have had folks put down ibanezs and Paul reed smiths to play my shitty *** epiphone.
Look for maple not rosewood on the fret board.
So there to whomever got their guitar thread deleted.

Nice, so it seems either way I go I'll have to spend a little extra money to get started but should be good for a while until I actually get good.
Yeah it seems like a lot of my threads "accidentally" get erased...

Id recommend this to anybody looking for a good acoustic/electric guitar that isn't too spendy. I paid $650 for it brand new at guitar center.

Re: guitar thread
I just sold a bunch of my guitars...damn bills. I'm left with a Hofner only available in Germany and a La Petrie classical guitars. Then a no name old Japanese hollowbody and an old 40's radio turned into a amp with a homemade suitcase cabinet with 2 8" Jensen mod speakers. I've had Fender Strats, teles and a Gibson Melody Maker and i'm always leftover with this ------- guitar.

Re: guitar thread
I rock a Johnson acoustic (after replacing my last one after a ---- face took it 
) and my brother has a Gibson Monarch or something like that. I can't play for ----. Was determined I would after picking up another one, but still haven't. I'll do it some day. Picked up a keyboard I have yet to learn also.
