Electric: Echo all the CV Squire strat or tele talk, or take a look at Tig's for not much more. Seriously. That is a nice looking guitar for the price!
Acoustic: That is where most folks start but certainly not all. If you do go acoustic, consider an OM or 00 or even jumbo size rather than full dreadnought. A whole lot easier for the beginning guitarist to hold and play IMO.
