If you want to learn first of all what would you rather play? Acoustic or electric? Electric your gonna need an amp too. If you wanna learn electric go for a Fender stratocaster copy and get a package that includes the amp. I started off on the electric and i regretted it though because its hell of alot harder to play the acoustic now.

You'd be better off starting on acoustic IMHO.

u might as well buy a cheap 200£ fender strat copy from argos/index.
if u chose to continue learning then invest in something fancy later on.

no point in spending 100's on a guitar and let it collect dust.

and if u can learn the acoustic at the same time, get your fingers accustomed to the difference early.

Get a nice Tanglewood acoustic - they sound really sharp, the lad in my band uses one.
