What type of guitar to buy?

So I've been a fan of Sungha Jung for quite a while. Let me say it now that I realize what he can do takes years and years of practice and I will probably never get to that point. That doesn't stop me from wanting to learn guitar though.

That being said, I was wondering what type of guitar to buy. Classical or acoustic? Is Sungha's guitar an acoustic or classical guitar? I'm not experienced to be able to tell and if I wanted to play in a style hopefully similar to him one day, what path should I take and what type of guitar? Thanks a lot guys.
