Yeah, a lot of people get distracted about the gear because its easier to be a gear expert than it is to be a great player. In reality there are lots of guitars that are perfectly good for learning at many price brackets and getting hung up in what to buy is a mostly meaningless distraction. It's like a sport at this stage, you're going to suck, but with everything you do you get better, so the best thing is to just play whatever as much as possible. It really is just a fitness thing at the start, well fitness and musical awareness. Just for clarification: I've been playin since I was 12 and have graduated university with a music degree and still play consistently in bands and solo projects. The biggest thing I've learned thus far is that the the guitar is just a tool for making good music and lives at the service of the music being made, not the other way around.
