would highly highly recommend starting on an acoustic. it works on fingers strength and you get better at muscle memory forming. when you the switch to an electric you will find it much easier to play.
personally, I play a Takamine G series, but I wouldnt recommend to for sittig around a campfire. it doesnt project well enough without an amp.
you can buy a takamine large body, dreadnought that will project very well. they are great guitars and hold their value quite well.
for electric. I am a big fender fan as they are a very versatile guitar and not as weighty as a Gibson Les Paul for example. Although I am a huge fan of Gibsons.
A fender Strat is a good choice, go Mexican because as a Novice player you wont notice much difference between it and an American.
thats my two cents worth.
