I'd shy away from anything in the $99 dollar special range. There is nothing more frustrating to a new student than a guitar that won't stay in tune and I've seen more new players get turned off of the whole thing because of a poor instrument.

Also think about getting a good used acoustic. I can tell from experience that acoustic guitars sound better the more they get played (I've got some old ones that look like they been through a war but they SING).

Also, PM incoming.
Everything he said is pretty much dead on.
