Monoprice electric guitars have had many other threads here on Slickdeals before if you'd like to refer to them as well.
They also have other electric guitars styles on sale that are cheaper, if you'd like. This one is a semi-hollow body (which some consider a premium feature) vs a traditional fully wood body electric guitar
At this price, I would personally go for the charcoal one (which is $129 right now)
I haven't plugged it in yet but I like the way it plays and it sounds pretty good.
However, there is fret buzzing. The finish was terrible outside of the box; I wonder if the guitar was used. The wires were clearly showing through the sound hole.
For the price I'm not too upset, it does play and sound pretty good, but the finish was surprisingly bad.

I think this would be a frustrating play experience as a first guitar. Without reworking and seating the frets properly you'd likely not know that the fret buzz is abnormal, or you'd adjust the action so high it would be unpleasant to play. I'll fix it and keep it.
For a first guitar get an inexpensive (e.g. Yamaha), set up from a local shop.
