Figure out what basic style you want. What music do you want to play? What kind of guitar do those guys use? Figure out if you want a Strat or other style guitar first. From there, find one that 'feels good'. Keep looking. The One will call out to you!

You don't have to spend big, either. Parts can be changed and upgraded. My absolute fave guitar right now is a $400 Epi LP std that I've upgraded. This thing just howls!! It ain't about the price point at all. Find The One. :)
