Most here will disagree with me, but learn on an acoustic first. You'll get the fundamentals a lot better. The acoustic is more difficult to finger, and will help you learn to chord cleanly and precisely.

My opinion may be affected by the kid next door currently banging away on power chords; if he breaks into Smoke on the Water one more time, I may have to act.
