Well, it doesnt really matter that much for a first guitar. I started out with a 3/4 crappy classical Stagg that was too small for me, but it quite worked out =]
Even so there are few things to look up before you buy a guitar. First - check if every note sounds right, it shouldnt buzz or hum (on some squiers there was no tone at all) Second, I personally wouldnt buy a Floyd Rose guitar as a first one, because on cheaper guitars the Floyd sucks and it doesnt stay in tune, plus its really hard to change strings. And of course, its about how do you feel it. Maybe the neck is too flat and you cant easily reach the 6th string or the frets are too high and its harder to slide... check if you have access to higher frets so you can bend on them. Also, some of the cheap guitars have a problem with the frets - they're a bit longer than the width of the neck, which may stratch your hands. Basicly thats it from me
