All 3 of these are overkill for a beginner guitar. Buy a (decent) used guitar for far less to learn on and figure out if it will just sit in a closet. Then upgrade.

Shorter scale like Mustang/Jaguar/LP/SG/PRS or longer scale like Strat/Tele/Jazzmaster?
Sitting down with the exact specimen and feeling it in hand will always be better to judge an emotional connection between player and instrument than an online sale.
Some beginner guitar recommendations I made in the past: https://slickdeals.net/e/13940228-monoprice-indio-helix-flamed-maple-electric-guitar-w-gig-bag-blue-burst-129-99-free-shipping-via-monoprice?p=135

Overkill but with that said, you could almost certainly resell it for the same price or close to it if playing the guitar isn't for you.

Source - have owned two. Very poor QC all around: sharp fret ends, poor setup, stripped screw heads, nicks in paint, loose pickup wrap. The first one made it through QC with no pickup switch tip (no, it wasn't in the box). They're cranking these out as fast as they can and must be in absolute disbelief people are plunking down $850 for these when not on sale.
Maybe the price is more than a beginner would want to spend, but it's an excellent instrument. If you decide it's not for you, you can sell it. if you decide to stick with it, you'll have a great guitar that you wont feel like replacing once you "get good" ..
