"Just bought my FIRST guitar!
"
Glad you said "first"...................because you will have more.....it's a rule........
........................those things are addictive the more you learn about them.......
Seriously, though, an el cheapo acoustic will be a more effective way to appreciate the nuance of guitar than an electric......I think
the Takamine Jasmine is less than a benjamin, at lotsa places off line or on.....ok, may one dollar less than a benjamin.....but still, it's a dreadnaught, has some style, and you can do cool things with it.....(disclaimer, I don't have one, I just saw an ad for one....my cheapest acoustic is a really low level Washburn which has about the same specs as the Jasmine.....I keep it in my kitchen and play it every morning....it's a freaking workhorse and if my cats scratch it, no big deal.....).....
An inexpensive acoustic will most seriously assist you in knowing how yer electric can sound........
Grats on yer new ax and play on!..........................gibs
