Which is more easier to master? The Acoustic or the Electric guitar?

To master is one question. To learn is another altogether. It's easiest to learn on a classical guitar - that is, one with nylon strings. They are easier on your fingers than steel strings. You can then just use that sound as accompaniment for a singer or your own singing or continue on to learn Flamenco or Classical style. As you learn the basics and your fingers toughen up, you could try a steel string acoustic. It will have a slightly thinner neck, requiring a finer degree of precision. It will also have quite a different sound. Most electrics have the same sort of neck and strings as a steel string acoustic but, depending how good your amplifier is and how proficient you are, can be easier to play as the electronics make it super sensitive.

nylon strings have lesser sustain... and thus need more precise fretwork... imo its harder than steel string spanish guitar...

Steel string Spanish guitar ?? I don't think so. "The two most common types of acoustic guitar are the steel-string guitar and the classical guitar, also known as the Spanish guitar, which uses nylon strings. Steel-string guitars are louder and brighter in sound, while classical guitars boast a warmer, mellower sound." http://www.acoustic-guitars.us/
