I wanted the best quality I could find for a cheap price, since I don't know yet if I'll end up sticking to it and didn't want to throw away too much money if I quit, and that fit the bill as best as my research showed. If I stick to it, I plan on getting something much better later on. I also hope to learn acoustic guitar. I really like Spanish style. Ultimately my true goal is to learn to play the Banjo. I just figured electric was a better starting point, since I could try learning guitar with Rocksmith and see if that is a good way to go about it.
That's crazy, I have that exact same guitar.

I imagine Rocksmith could be a good way to get into the guitar, I've heard good things about it. I got it as a birthday present last year and tried it out a bit, but it seemed more suited to people just starting to learn.
