Learning to play guitar

This is one of those things that I’ve thought about for a very long time and I have asked about it before, but I think I can actually do something about it now.

Like anything else, I’ve been reading and watching videos etc and have narrowed down some choices. Firstly, I want to learn electric guitar. From that, I’ve decided on a Epiphone Les Paul with something like a Fender Mustang amp, mainly because of some of the features that it comes with.

Is there anything else I should consider before jumping in ?
