As a longtime acoustic guy who has gotten into electrics in recent years, I believe I can speak as a newbie. My first Fender was a MIM Strat and it was frustrating. When I picked up a Squier CV50 Tele...which cost more than the Strat ;-)...I actually started enjoying electrics more. I have not stopped buying electrics but do like the CV50 which, unbeknownst to me at the time, has fooled experts in blind playing tests.
And I fully agree with the comments by Teleman52.
My best advice is to buy a decent "lower tier" guitar and amp to explore the whole world of pickups, amps, effects, etc. before buying more toys. Because you will :-)
