Better to get a decent guitar early on to learn with. Later, buy cheap guitars and see if you can make them sing;~) I've got a j45 that stays in it's case while the plywood construction CHRIS brand "x" with (lions airbrushed on the pickguard) gets most of my attention these days. Get a fairly good one, or better yet, "borrow" one for a couple years as probably many of us out here did.
