I started when I was 16, on a cheap acoustic, but it was tuneable. Check where the neck meets the body. If there is too much of a gap difference between there and the top of the neck, it may be too warped to tune and you may give up too soon. Also I liked learning on an acoustic because I formed better callouses, quicker, while forcing me to play cleaner.
Oh yeah, I was self taught from simple chord charts, but I think there must be better ways these days.
