Everyone is telling to start with a classical.
How about starting off with an electric?

classical is nice as the fret is slightly bigger and the strings are nylon.. easier on fingers, easier to 'feel out' your way around the keyboard, but you will peak fast on it.. electric acoustic you will always have a use for, and will be able to plug it in for whatever classes/recording/amps you wish to use
starting off with an electric guitar is interesting as the strings will be more forgiving, the sound easier to produce, and the guitar will be easier to manage standing or sitting. problems are the use of a power source etc (ie, its nice to go to a park and practice versus sitting at home etc), and i think cost to invest in a new hobby? not sure.. id say go for it if you want it
