Have a Yamaha that I've had for over 15 years that I bought for $200, still one of my favorite guitars to pick up and play to this day.
Many people say to learn on an acoustic then switch to electric but again that's up to you.
Also there is a program called Rocksmith that's pretty helpful learning to play

This seems like a good deal for someone just starting out.
Acoustic is likely better if you only want 1 guitar and don't want to fuss with tuning guitar and amp or dont care about rock sounds or such. Will annoy anyone who hears you practice. Must play everything harder for louder sounds which can get tiresome for your everyday hobbyist.
Just a hobbyist opinion btw, know a few songs since I was young so I still play them and try to learn more but...
TLDR: Get electric if you have the time/space/energy/long term intent to play/love guitar and wanna dive deep.
I'm pretty amazing at Guitar Hero, not sure if I'm ready to get called out and give up my bragging rights with the real thing!
I dabbled then I took it over to a friend who does play quite well... and he liked it, but the fret-ends were sharp.
I took a 3 sided file, smoothed off one side (making it a 2 sided file with a 3rd smooth side) and went up and down the neck chamfering the frets on the top and bottom edges. I smoothed that third side so it wouldn't damage the neck. I'm sure there is a file already made just for that.
Now I think it is his guitar. He loves it... and he has a seriously sweet Gretch.
I just can't wrap my head around the guitar. I play piano and cello and can now play scales on a guitar but... nah. I don't think I'll ever get it. Good thing I own 3. Palm-face.
But yes, this package is a good deal for sure. Small amp but I suspect it will still anger the neighbors.
From what I understand, learning on an acoustic is a little better as it won't mask your mistakes and an electric will. Other than that... hell, get a good deal and start trying. If you wanna make music... by all means.. make music!
Edit: so after clicking the link and reading the reviews which I obviously should have done before posting this comment entirely my fault obviously!
my question even though this is only one person's opinion spoke volumes on the amp itself which is what I was mostly concerned with I will post the comment below if anybody's interested in Reading it will be available thanks for your time and apologies for not research and prior to asking the questions above everyone have a great day cheers!
REVIEW FROM SITE :
When received it, I immediately noticed a 1/4? gouge on the c shape neck about 6th fret. Would have thought QC would have caught that one. After a couple hours of tuning and set up I actually got a reasonable sound. I think with upgrades it can be a fun guitar. Oh, and throw the amp away, guitar isn?t shielded and there is a whole lot of humming when gain is on. 3rd knob down tone button has almost zero effect. Get VOX headphone amp with DJ headphones. Inexpensive and get some great sounds. Also the strings are garbage. I stretched and stretched and it?s still losing tune. What can I say? Got a just ok guitar for $129. Forget the kit, buy a cheap guitar and upgrade it. Sorry for the bad news!
