Question about guitars?

I have 2 questions? 1) What kind of guitar should I get? It should not be so expensive, and I am a beginner, but should be a pretty good quality. 2) Also, how good is a standard Balladeer Omaha. Any idea about its price or quality? Thank you!

1. You can learn equally well on acoustic or electric for their decision must be based on the type of music to play. 2. I've never heard of a Standard Balladeer Omaha and no information on the Internet about it at all, which is a bad sign. You are better off buying just a music store and stick to a well-known mark. You should expect to pay about $ 200 for a beginner acoustic guitar and another $ 100 for a beginner package with electric guitar, amplifier, cable, etc. Good luck.
