    Are you able to buy both? Maybe one first and one in a few months time? If so, I'd go for the acoustic. It's hard to switch from electric to acoustic because the electric is usually much easier to play. If you're only up for casual playing, acoustic is definitely the place to start, as you can't easily drag an amp or effects boxes round the place like you can an acoustic. Plus you'd be surprised at how many high volume high distortion songs have been transposed into fantastic acoustic versions. Check out the acoustic version of Radiohead's Creep, Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away", Metallica's "Fade To Black" or the entire Nirvana Unplugged album.

    There are plenty of guitar shops round the country where you can buy a basic guitar. You can get a cheapo one for round €200-€250. I don't see much point in spending €500+ on something that you might decide isn't actually the thing for you. If possible bring someone with you who knows something about them. If you can't, then read reviews on the net - there are tons of them, just do a Google.
