Well, I ended up getting both acoustics and electrics.

I started with an Ibanez Artcore hollowbody electric, which gives off enough tone unplugged. Enough to practice by anyway. They're in the $400 range new.

For instruction I subscribe to Greg Summer's GuitarcastOnline podcast. Price is right, which is free. I download it to my video Ipod. There's also all sorts of DVDs out there if you want to learn at your own pace (if that's the route you want to go). Others here may be able to recommend a teacher if you prefer that.

I do have a couple of amps. An old-school tube amp and a smaller modelling amp. But for just fiddling around, I often plug my guitar into my Mac, which has Garageband. That, and wearing my headphones.
