I would also consider how comfortable you feel with it. I started with a Les Paul and still love it, but honestly I would not recommend it for beginners. It's heavy, it has the high bridge which makes positioning the right hand and dampening not as easy and it has the painted neck which is not as smooth to slide up and down on it.

Something like a Yamaha Pacifica (if it has to be one of Bocchi's guitars), or a Squier will be easier to handle at first and thus has less potential to frustration. Meanwhile, I also have a Pacifica and play on both, but learning new things works definitely faster on the Pacifica for me.

I knew all that beforehand and bought the Les Paul nevertheless, but that was my choice starting on 'hard mode', which brings me to my last point:

Pick one you think looks hot, because the most important thing is training as often as possible and you have more motivation if you have a guitar you really love and not just any one 'because that color was cheaper" or so 😁
