Find a good teacher - one that is enthusiastic, knowledgeble, relational, and is there to meet your needs (not theirs).

If you like acoustic, go acoustic. If you're concerned about the fine musculature in your left hand being challenged, try very light gauge strings, or, silk and steel strings - they'll still give you that clarity one typically associates with an acoustic guitar, and though it is a little less forgiving with intonation, it can be worth it as you build your relationship with the guitar and refine your style.

Have fun - nothing quite like playing if you're desinged for it. Trust your intuition around this enthusiasm.
