Rays point is the most important thing to consider. My advice is this: If you have a bunch of money then you should aquire the best instrument that you can. Guitars hold their value as well as gold and guns, but know what you are buying. The only important thing, no matter what kind of guitar you buy, is that it play well. If you get a cheap guitar (a good consideration if there is a chance you will lose interest) then have someone set it up for you. Even cheap guitars can be made to play well. This is true even if you go to a big box store and buy an inexpensive student guitar. Have the store tech set it up so that it plays easily. You often hear new players brag about how they "played until their fingers bled". There is no reason for your fingers to bleed. If your instrument is comfortable to play you will be more likely to enjoy learning and stick with it.
