Answer
I echo Lester G's reply and add a bit more to your question. An acoustic guitar will test your motivation and drive to continue playing. Once the calluses arrive your progress will be marked for the better if you continue.

As Lester G has said, get a flat-top acoustic to begin playing. Alongside that recommendation, I suggest putting medium-gauge strings on it because they will help you get the calluses you must have. Putting lights or super-light gauges on an acoustic diminishes the projection you will want. Be determined to first get the calluses and then focus strongly on chords and their progressions, the Chromatic Scale for chords and notes, and learn how to read sheet music for the guitar. Do not rely upon tablature to play complete songs. Tablature is good for short riffs and turnarounds, but they are most troublesome in playing the entire piece.

Above all, take lessons if you can. Such a decision will pay off in the long run.

What's a good beginner acoustic guitar?

I always played my friend's guitar and need to buy my own one.
What are some good suggestions on low-end acoustic guitars, as I am on a semi-budget.

Thanks for any help!



Answer
I second finding a good music store, preferably one that gives lessons and has a good, helpful staff. They should be able to help. I would caution against buying used, especially on Craigslist, until you've played for a bit and have some idea how to evaluate the condition of a guitar, especially an acoustic. You'll also want to have one set up properly so it plays nicely and stays in tune. Again, a shop with a good luthier on staff will help greatly.

As for specific brand recommendations, there are many great guitars. If you can swing something in the $350-$400 range new, a Seagull, Simon & Patrick or Art & Lutherie (all made by the same company in Canada) are great choices, as is the Taylor Big Baby, If you are looking to spend less, both Alvarez and Yamaha make some very nice, low cost acoustics.
