Start with a Nylon acoustic, plenty under $100, learn 6 basic chords and start playing. Learn to read TAB, it isnt hard and go to any TAB web sites for your music, all free. Once you are playing a few tunes buy a steel string acoustic/electric with a narrow neck, your playing will improve tenfold but your fingers will need to toughen up. No need to pay more than $300 for a first steel guitar. I have bought many good guitars from cash converters, people buy expensive guitars, dont learn and lose interest and then trade them cheap, I have a nice Takemine steel acoustic/elec with cut away that retails for around $1200 I payed $280 with a case at CConverters, the case was worth $150.
Enjoy. Dennis.
