Buy a Baby for not much more and you've got a guitar that is easy to play, sounds good and if you buy it right, you can get almost everything you paid for it by selling it on eBay.

I definitely agree with this...about 4 years ago I was going to "Start" playing guitar and went out and bought a little cheap Telecaster....sounded like crap...was a little flimsy in the neck and strings and I couldn't make anything sound good....could've been playing Mozart perfectly and it would've still sounded like crap...
What I'm trying to say is...just what Steve said, music is about the sound and the feel (inside and outside)...so if you buy a cheap one, it's harder to see if you are progressing cause it still sounds crappy.
To finish my story, I dropped the guitar for about a year, then picked up a middle of the line Takamine and 3 years later I'm gigging with guys, writing songs, etc....it was the difference in that first guitar and the sound I got and the feedback I got from playing it that made a big difference.
