Is this a good guitar for beginners?

Honestly if you want to learn how to play a real sounding electric guitar then no. Even though this is an acoustic-electric guitar it will sound nothing like an electric guitar. If you want to rock out to green day get an all electric guitar. However if you like more clical music get the acoustic. You can mix the two but ts hard to pull off and will almost never sound the way you want. All guitars are good for beginners however you might want to by a cheaper one ( Not cheap school ones ) just so you can see if you are really committed before buying a $300-$500 guitar ( Or maybe more :D ).
