  I think aesthetics are very important especially for beginners. You are much more likely to randomly pick up and practice on a guitar that is aesthetically pleasing to you than you are with one you find ugly.

  To beginners, play as many guitars as you can.  Beg, borrow, but dont steal.  Any time you go to a music store and try at least five or six ones that are as different as possible.  The best thing you can do is find a guitar that inspires you, one you don't want to put down.  Dont be aftaid of used gear either, you can find some real treasures.  There are so many great guys making videos about everything guitar, many have fantastic advice.  If your parents are buying you one have them watch some of them.  One of the worst things to do is give a beginner a cheap piece of junk, they are hard to play, and discourage/frustrate/turn-off new players.  Definitely do not start out with an steel string acoustic, they are much harder to play than electrics.  Personally, I'd advise starting with a shorter scale length guitar, the strings are easier to press down.  The scale length is how long the strings are (from the bridge to the nut).  Also, begin with very light gauge strings look for ones where the thinnest (the high E/sixth) is no more than a 9, if you can find "8's" try them too.  Play with other people any chance you get!  It's one of the best ways to grow as musician and it's wonderful.  Don't be afraid to ask people who are better than you to play, unless there's something wrong with them they'll be happy to jam.  Play all kinds of music, even songs you may not really like, you will discover new genres, find inspiration and have musical ideas that will surprise and delight you.  These are a few of the things I wish someone had told me when I was 12 y.o.  The Guitar and Bass, literally saved my life and made it richer too.

  Me as a kid: &nbsp; I want the Les Paul because Ace Frehley plays one. &nbsp;Me as a teenager: &nbsp; I want the Les Paul because Jimmy Page plays one. &nbsp;Me as an adult: &nbsp; I want the Les Paul because now I can afford one. &nbsp;Me in my 50s: &nbsp; I got the Les Paul because Jimmy Page plays one, and damn do I love it!
