JSMidd has got it right. all that matters really is how it feels in your hands. I personally play an Ibanez Artcore. It fits in my hand perfectly and I absolutely love it. My friend plays a Fender Strat. When he first got it he said it just fit right into his hand. Neither of us would rather have the other's instrument for any reason whatsoever. So basically, go around and try a bunch of guitars out to figure out what you like. once you have, look around for something with the same feel that is affordable. If you want something decent quality but not top brand however, you can buy a cheap knockoff and redo all of the electronics in it. No matter what anyone says it'll sound just fine.
