However, is it worth a beginner playing on a high end guitar? I know that I am going to stick with this guitar thing now.

What does everyone out there think?

In my opinion, I think there is nothing wrong with playing high end guitars even if you are just a beginner. As long as you do not have any problem with the price, there won't be any problem. Of course, it is still advisable that you start from the beginning or you first try to enhance your skills with the help of new beginner guitars as they are easier to operate or use compared to high end ones. You can find some of those guitars here: http://www.squidoo.com/best-beginner-guitars. Anyway, that is just my own opinion. Cheers! = )
