This! 1000x this! One of the most frustrating things about learning an instrument is that it initially sounds terrible and you feel like you will never get it. If you have a low quality instrument and are inexperienced, you honestly cannot tell if it is you or the guitar.

This is why I heartily recommend to anyone trying to learn to pick-up a mid-range guitar used. You get much higher quality and the price is usually comparble to a "cheap" beginner one.
