Answer
There is a sight that might give you some direction as a beginner guitar player.
http://www.all-things-acoustic-guitar.com
It covers a lot of material ranging from different beginner guitars, electric acoustic guitars, learning to play the acoustic, and more.
The difference between an acoustic and an electric acoustic is simply that one can be amplified and the other cannot unless it is mic'd.
You may not think that you can afford a teacher, but if you change your strategy, you might be able to.
You might take one class a month. I know instructors who charge as little as $15 for a half hour lesson.
You could take a lesson, and then save up for the next. This way it is not such a strain on your budget.
You might also check out a church or community center in your area and see if they offer music lessons- some do it for free or just donations.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Answer
Teaching your self.
This is the most popular way to learn guitar. Millions have tried it. Many encourage beginners to do it. Some succeed. Maybe you could be one of them.
It sounds like a great idea. After all it is free, and you can learn at your own pace. No teacher to tell you what you have to do.
There are thousands of books, videos and internet sites to help. Some of the internet sites are even free.
Why are there so many books, videos and internet sites to help? Because few can learn using the one that was recommended, so the player starts looking for something else.
Some who want to learn on their own, go to the books and videos since they are cheaper than lessons. Music stores sell so many books. (Last time I checked at the local music store there were 27 different beginner guitar books) Quite a few videos.
The music stores also have guitar classes and private lessons. Some schools have class lessons. The lesson prices are more. Sometimes a class for 3 to 6 months may cost less than one private lesson.
I assume you want to succeed. You might do it by any of the methods, but most likely you will not. The Internet site seems to have the most failures, followed by the books. Videos do a bit better but still almost 90% quit during the first year. Private lessons have a better record. Only 65% quit the first year. Surprising to many your best chance of still playing the guitar after one year is to take classes. Classes allow you to see and hear what the teacher and other students are doing. It also allows them to see and hear you and to help you to solve the many problems and questions that you will have.
The choice is yours.
