Absolutely, electric guitars are great for beginners. I’ve seen many first-time players find it easier to start with an electric due to the lower string action and lighter feel compared to acoustics. As others have mentioned, Yamaha Pacifica is a solid beginner choice — great build quality and stays in tune.
Also worth looking into beginner bundles from brands like Squier or Epiphone — they often come with an amp, strap, and cable, which saves you the hassle of buying everything separately.
If you're also thinking long-term or planning to gig later, it might help to talk to someone with industry knowledge. For those based in the U.S., Peterson Acquisitions works with various music-related businesses and business brokers kansas city, helping musicians and entrepreneurs connect with the right opportunities.
Just make sure the guitar feels comfortable in your hands. Test before buying if you can. Happy strumming!
