acoustic guitar recommendations for a beginner?

beautifulm

so i have always wanted to play guitar.
i asked my parents about playing the electric guitar/bass for about 4 years now, but they refused.
but now they're saying that if i wanna do electric, i need to start with acoustic.
now im forced to do acoustic...
so i have never played guitar before. i know pretty much nothing about it.
please tell me which kind of guitar i should buy? (solid top? steel/nylon string?)
how do i know which guitar is the right one?
oh, my price ranger is under 200.
thanks in advance guys (:

Answer
If you have a " Guitar Center" near you the best i've seen for a beginner under $200.00 is a "Mitchell" spruce top acoustic. Steel strings of course. I have one, and it sounds just as good if not better than my 5 and 6 hundred dollar acoustics. The string clearance is very close ( easy to play) and the fingerboard is just wide enough. Go to guitar centers web site and this guitar should be on there.
NOTE* Your parents are absolutely right, too many kids get caught up in the "cool" of the electric guitar and never learn how to play. If you take lessons learn to play chords first otherwise you will get bored with songs like Mary Had A Little Lamb and quit. Your not going to stick with it because its hard ( thats a challenge kid, prove me wrong!)
