It's a good choice for beginners as long as you are fine with the pricing. Telecaster is an iconic guitar with a long history and classic sought-after tone. The Player-series Tele is a modern version with a classic look and feel but with more capable hardware and better playability. It also suits a wide range of music styles, so with a little more investment upfront, you'll not have to worry about upgrading for quite some time.
However, being a very capable guitar, it's also very much suited for more advanced players. If you're looking for a stage-ready Fender Tele but want to avoid paying upwards of $1.5k, this guitar would be a good option.
