Welcome Rachel. For my bucks I have the Yamaha FGX 800 C and its an excellent acoustic electric for around 250.00 at Guitar Center in usa. That epi looks good also. As a beginner, just make sure that you pay a luthier to do a set up for you. Often new guitars come with the action too high, and if you are a beginner it helps to start with a low action and also try light strings. I have DaDarrio 11 52 gauge Custom Lights on my Yamaha, and its great. Welcome to GC.
