I started learning a few months ago and am now about halfway through fundamentals 2. I think my next step after that will be the Blues track. My interests are in funk, blues, and R&B.

 

Currently I am on a Dean AK48PK (Acoustic) that is on loan from my wife. It's been great to get started on but I think I am at the point where I want my own guitar. The decision I am trying to make is between getting a better acoustic or getting an electric. I was thinking of spending in the neighborhood of $1000. I know that once I decide between acoustic and electric it will come down to going to the shop and playing a few. Right now I am trying to determine which will better serve me going through the Blues course and learning funk and R&B. 

 

Any guidance folks can provide would be welcome.
