well of course there is no absolute best beginner guitar because then it wouldnt be beginner it would be intermediate 
lol but it depends on what guitar your looking into acoustic or electric, if its an electric and you got $200-$400 buy a guitar and amp package perhaps a fender or epiphone, if its an acoustic try an ibanez or epiphone
i very much do prefer epiphone because they are widely known for being cheap yet excelent quality.

There is no absolute best guitar, only a best guitar for you. I would recommend going to a shop and trying out as many different guitars as you can find in your price range. There are many good brands and models out there, but they all play, feel, and sound a bit different, the best guitar for me, may be a poor choice for you. Some good brands for beginners are Ibanez, Yamaha, Washburn, Fender, Luna, Epiphone, Mitchell and Dean. A good beginners guitar should start at about $150, anything less is likely to be poorly made. Don’t buy from a department store, like Walmart or Target, they are cheaply made, and poor quality. I wouldn’t buy from Ebay or a website either for your first guitar. Guitars need to be set up when they come from the factory to play their best, this will already be done at a shop.
This can be tricky. You don’t want to spend too much money, but you don’t want to buy a poorly made guitar. Ideally, you want a reasonably priced guitar that you’ll be able to sell if you decide it isn’t for you. I’d recommend any of the guitars from http://www.rondomusic.com. They’ve got several guitars under $100, and even their higher end models average out to $300-400. The high-end models are very good, comparable in quality to many guitars that cost double or even triple.
Your best bet is to pick a style of music you want to play, or even an artist whose playing you like, and get a similar guitar. I’ll assume you want an electric guitar. For an absolute beginner, I’d recommend this package:
http://www.rondomusic.com/product2280.html
It comes with a Stratocaster-style guitar, a small amp, instrument cable, strap, and instructional DVD, for $115. The Stratocaster is the most widely used type of electric guitar in music, and this one is much better than the low-priced versions made by Fender.
there is no best as all guitars are built differently by different manufactures and they all play and sound different, I like my Guild’s and Gretsch’s but there not entry level guitars. and some think there junk, but that’s just there opinion. see where I’m going with this?
yup time to find yourself a guitar shop, your going to need to find one sooner or later anyway so nows a good time to find one.
no such thing as a beginner guitar only good and bad.
fender or gibson or epiphone.
