I've checked out the 40th anniversary Squier models, all in all, I put them on the same level as the Classic Vibe models which are pretty damn good.
They just have some different features.

Yeah I bought my gf the jaguar and was pretty surprised playing the various ones in stock they also had. Fender is definitely trying to appeal to new players with the detail on squier and lower model Gretsch guitars. That being said Epiphone knocked the 59 Les Paul reissue and Lazarus out of the park but they are still pricey for a new player. GC has the Epi Les Paul custom blackback Les Paul on sale for 5 or 6 right now and ive seen great reviews on it.

Tidbit Supposedly Waylons first leather wrapped teles were gifts from the band and bar he had been playing and were $40ish a piece and pawn shop finds that he played them for years. Once you start learning and figure out how you like the setup and what you might need to replace you can play any guitar. Just needs to stay in tune well lol.

Most importantly for starters is not getting something that is hard to play and discouraging simply because its not properly set up.
