When I started I bought a cheap acoustic, I think it was a fender, that I paid about $150 for including a soft shell case and a chord book. This was 30 years ago so its probably a $250-300 guitar now. If I had it to do again, I would get a nylon string guitar. They are much easier to play, easier than an electric IMO and easier on your fingers. I recently bought a cheap ($170) yamaha nylon string and its all I want to play now. Here is the LINK

I second that.

My first guitar was a Alverez Classical* guitar that I bought from a girl in a study group I met at college . It was a fine guitar but she never played it. The nylon strings didn't were out my fingertips at first.

Another person in the study group was a pretty good player showed me how the play an extremely difficult song for a new player. (picking Blackbird by the Beatles) He was messing with me but said it you can learn to play this everything else will be easy. I still cant play it correctly, but he was right as it forced me to use all 5 fingers on both hands. Chords were easy after that.

*my brother sold it when I went out of town for a weekend!!!
