Answer
Guitar is so much fun! it's my favorite intstrument.
Well, most "beginner" guitars are pretty cruddy, and discourage learners from playing! I would say Mitchell guitars are pretty decent though. But if you have the money (these aren't too pricey, but they cost more than mitchell!) try Takamine guitars, those are pretty nice. Also, GOOD knockoffs of high-end guitars (Martin, Taylor, Guild) are amazing! Thats what i have! I love it so much. Most of the good ones you'll find though are vintage and in the 100-300 dollar price range.I have a Martin knockoff, and i wouldn't trade it for any other guitar (Well, maybe an Olson, those things are stinking $40,000!).
Don't give up! Guitar i would say is hardest in the first three months, but after you get over that first hump its all uphill!
I have a guitar channel on you tube- you should check it out. I will be putting up free tutorials pretty soon :)

Answer
1. About $150-300 for a decent beginner guitar. Sub-$100 guitars are usually junk. Used guitars run cheaper but it takes experience to diagnose potential repair issues.
2. Buy a cheap electronic tuner with the guitar, or download a smartphone app. Or google "online guitar tuner".
3. A music store. Do not buy online if you can possibly help it, or from Walmart, Target, etc. The folks at the music store can advise you better, are less likely to sell you a poorly adjusted piece of junk, and can provide better support. It is crucial that your first guitar should be properly "set up" or adjusted so that it is easy to play and the strings don't buzz, so you need to pick it out yourself. Taking along a friend who plays guitar might not be a bad idea either.
4. Most guitars in this price range are laminated (plywood). A solid spruce top, if you can get it, will give better sound (all other things being equal) and improve more with age. Such models will have "Solid spruce" in the description and often have an S at the end of the model number. If it doesn't say "solid" spruce in this price range, it isn't.
