G'day, welcome to the forum. Can't say I've heard anything bad about the 808 ... come to think of it I haven't heard anything bad about Maton.
If you're just starting out, you might like to consider having (instead or as well as) a rather cheap guitar that you don't mind leaving on a stand in the house so you can grab it when the mood takes you, or throwing into the back seat of the car to take to music lessons. Sometimes the real good stuff has to be protected from the daily lifestyle dangers, and this can slow you down a bit when you just want to spend five minutes on it. If you know what I mean.
Anyway, good luck with your choice.
