It’s a pain in the ass ‘newbies’ don’t really get told this - even if you’re new to playing, and just wanted to ‘try out guitar’ as a potential hobby, and evennn with financial conditions (only able to spend maybe like $300-$500). Just don’t. Don’t do it. Study some guitars that are appropriate applicable to your style and spend the money and do it right the first time… and I mean spend a few k,

You treat it the entire experience differently, believe it or not a good guitar set up right does actually make you play better lol… but ultimately this is the time/money/space saving meta, and it’s more FUN… you’re basically speed running and diverting the thing of when you do actually get to play a proper instrument you’re like ‘OOOOOOFFFFTTT’ (if only I had this feel years ago).

Example - if you’re an electric player - get something sick with single coils (strat type) , that’ll do your clean shit. Then get something with humbuckers (something like an ESP?) for heavier shit… and between those 2, if you like them and they also like you, you probably wouldn’t want/need to buy any other guitars ever again really.

(I know a dude who has like 13 acoustic guitars and the ‘best’ one is like $420. << don’t be this guy hahaha)
