[QUOTE=djhnj7]Is it worth it?

Seriously, the most important criteria of a guitar is does it feel good in your hands. And if you haven't "touched a guitar before 3 weeks ago", it doesn't make any difference if it is a Strat, a Tele, a LP or SG.

Almost all my guitar heroes (Clapton, SRV, etc.) play Strats. So I just knew what I wanted when I started learning would be a Strat. I've got both a Strat and a Les Paul and the latter gets way more playing time from me. This is after a year and a half of trying to learn to play guitar. A year from now that may change.

For now, for trying to learn, just get something that feels comfortable to you. And, very importantly, have a good shop do a set-up on it for you.

Good luck!
