Yes, if you want a simple, easy-to-understand instrument with a good response to right-hand technique. A T-model does not have unnecessarily complicated controls and quickly shows whether your chords, muted rhythms and simple lead lines are clean. For a complete beginner, neck comfort, reasonable weight and a proper setup are the most important points.

I don't know how this beginner's instrument differs in quality from a similar guitar for, say, 40 thousand, because the quality is such that it's really hard to improve anything here.
