Rock, pop and folk music, the things guitars are popularly used for, are quite simple, so you don't need to be able to play well at all to get music out of the thing. (Think how many punk rock bands could literally hardly play when they started. "Here's one chord, here's two more, now form your own band.") Also, you can get a guitar and amp that are good enough for your whole career way cheaper than the typical good classical instrument.
