if you dont want something too expensive here are some options
Fender: FatStrat, a standard Strat with humbuckers in the back to thicken tone, or just get a Strat
Schecter: Hellcat, Omen 6, C-1 of some sorts.
Epiphone: Flying V, or one of their 1,000,000,000s of Les Pauls.
there are more brands like Ibanez and others but those are ones i know of that are pretty good.
if you're going to be in a metal-y band stay away from Strats.
