A friend of mine plays an Ibanez acoustic-electric and it is a very easy guitar to play. Personally, I think the tone has room for improvement, but for the price it's pretty good and he plays with a full band so it's not like it needs to be perfect anyways.

I would definitely recommend going to a Guitar Center or another guitar store and messing with a bunch of different ones before choosing. And actually I would recommend actually buying one that you've gotten a chance to play (like the actual guitar you played), because they can vary even within the same model. However, I didn't take my own advice and bought an acoustic through the interwebs and it plays like tEh sex . Also, with a guitar that you're just learning on it probably won't be as huge of a deal.

So in summary, yes, that guitar will more than likely be great for you, but I'd still recommend checking out a few others at a Guitar Center just to get a feel for them.
