Nah, lefties can play right handed Guitars just as easily as righties. There isn;t anything inherently left- or right-handed about guitars - each hand must perform a complex task, with the fret hand fucosung more on minor motor/dexterity, while the strumming hand has more emphasis on rhythm. Since every guitar player must learn either rhythm or dexterity with his non-dominant hand, it doesn't really matter which is which.
If for no other reason, play a right handed guitar since that's what most people will have lying around at their houses, so you can more easily pick one up and show off :)
well if you just started to play then you should totally get the acostic guitar but if youv'e been for ages get the electric guitar
If the question is is it harder to learn to play one guitar THAN it is to learn to play several different guitars at the same time, then in my opinion, it is easier to learn to play by using only one guitar. Start with a 6 string guitar, maybe an acoustic guitar. Get used to that one particular guitar. Then graduate to another guitar, same acoustic type but larger. The frets are the same but the feel is different. then go on to an electric guitar. I've played piano for a long time and I've learned to feel the vibrations the sounds create. Same with the guitar. I need to feel the vibrations. The electric guitar doesn't give much vibrations; so, I prefer the acoustic. Graduate to the base guitar (different guitar altogether). Now it's only 4 strings (unless you're adventuresome and go with a 5-string . . .) Maybe this explanation will help.
Most guitarists will tell you the easiest songs to learn are three chord songs. Barre chords are much harder for beginners to learn to play than open chords.
I think it doesn't matter if you learn on an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar. One thing to know is that steel strings are hard on your fingers until the ends of your fingers start to toughen up, so sometimes it is an advantage to start off learning on a nylon string acoustic guitar. But it doesn't really matter, use what ever guitar you have but it is hard at the start and you need to persevere.
I apologize for this short answer but it is only as easy as a violin to learn, but maybe a little bit harder. Guitaring has many more skills and a wide variety of ways to play it.
Realistically, the violin is harder to play because there are no frets for one to easily find the notes. One must determine the correct notes by ear, and then shift one's finger position accordingly.
