Especially with an acoustic, I would prefer to buy in person at a music store just to make sure the guitar has good action and is playable.

This being said, you could start out with this guitar and A) see if you really want to play guitar or
B) wait until you have a little experience yourself before picking out something nicer.

The guitar is so inexpensive that you will probably outgrow it very quickly.

Good guitars sound so much better and are easier to play than cheap guitars.

But if you started on this guitar in a month or two you would probably have a better idea of what you really wanted.

It is possible that even tho this guitar doesn’t cost much that it is playable and good sounding.

Acoustics are typically a little harder to work on because there is probably binding going around the edges. I don’t think its ‘paint that you should use to get that vintage look, you’re going to want to look int wood stain. The glossy finish that you see on top of the guitar is just clear paint that has been buffed out, so to get rid of it (since you can’t stain on top of it) you’re best bet would be to carefully sand it down. Although like I said you’re going to have to be real careful and if you want to do it right it might end up being a lot more work than you originally thought.
