Both links have useful info, but i also want to get an opinion on buying a first guitar from someone who has experience playing one. Best type to buy for a beginner, pros and cons of buying used, importance of being able to tune it before starting to learn to play, etc.

Are you going to be teaching yourself? Just walk into a music store and pick one of the sales person brain.
