Honestly, try out a bunch of guitars. I persoonally love Ibanez electrics. I have owned fenders before, but I simply love the feel of an Ibanez neck. For a great acoustic at a low-ish price check out Schecter's ACS elite. I own one and love it. For the size of the guitar the sound is great, and hte action is better than my best friends taylor. I picked it up for a lil over $300, they retail around $500 and you can find them as low as $250 new. shop around and find something that just "feels right". If it just looks cool, but it isn't perfectly comfortable in your hands don't buy it...you will play your best on an instrument that feels perfect to you.

noooooooooooooo dont buy it online.. it could be damaged or tampered with

Patrick Eggle guitars are great. They make PRS sound and feel like toys.

I also adore Ernie Ball musicman guitars...they just feel perfect...I just wish I could afford one
