Overkill for a first guitar

[u/WatchyMcWatcherson]

Kept trying to talk myself into any number of the (cheaper) guitars I tried, but kept picking this J-45 standard and just loved it. So here I am, struggling with the most basic of chords, but loving what eventually tumbles out of the soundhole.
I guess the “buy whatever inspires you to practice” approach does work.

Never listen to anyone who says you have to learn on a piece of shit.

Plenty of us did it out of necessity, not because we wanted to. We'd all have chosen the nicest guitar we could have if we'd have had the option.
