started at 14 on electric, mainly because i wanted to be a beatle. i was in a group and borrowed one of my friends electrics. my 1st purchase was an acoustic and i never went back to electric. ended up playing in acoustic duos most of the time, or as a single many times. the odd thing about the age factor is that i am 28, went to bed one night recently and when i woke up i was 56!

51, receding hairline, exceeding midline. Started at 15 playing Beatles to Gordon Lightfoot to Joe Pass, with lengthy trips into country, rock and blues. My bliss is now solo guitar instrumentals. 

I started on an acoustic at age 12 and quickly moved to electric, so I've almost always had at least one of each around.  However, I started buying lots of electrics in the last 10 years (I'm 48 now), and have only recently been adding to the acoustic collection.

I find that they tend to be more expensive.  -_-
