MM Axis as First Time Guitar for Beginner?

Hello,
I’m new to the forum, in fact, new all around. I’m in my early fifties, and just started taking lessons with electric guitar – a serious newbie. My goal is to cover songs from 80s rock bands in my garage. Needless to say, Van Halen “Panama” and “Aint Talkin Bout Love” are among my list of songs. I’ve been learning the absolute basics with a borrowed Epiphone Les Paul Standard, but found a beautiful early 2000s EB MM Axis that my wife wants to buy me for my birthday. What say ye fellas? Any reason not to if I’m just beginning? Would my wife be handing a baby a machine gun? I’ve definitely got the bug, and am determined to keep playing. My instructor said… “get anything that will make you play, heck, even just hold your guitar in your hands more.” If you get it, and it doesn’t sound right, at least you know it isn’t the instrument.

Thanks for chiming in.
