First off what kind of music do ya like? There are some brands of guitars that are more suited towards certain genres of music. Also, how much money are you willing to pay?
Ibanez are pretty good guitars that you can get cheap, a lot of them play and/or sound like more expensive guitars. The solidbodies are suited for shred, metal, thrash, rock, etc....
Epiphone are pretty good also, they have that whole Gibsonny feel but they cost a lot less.
I don't like squires, but so many people start out with them, so I guess if your really low on cash you could go there.
Maybe some of the Mexican made Fenders would suit you, cuz they aren't too expensive, and have a high quality.
Answer the 2 questions I said up at the beginning, and I'll give you a little more insight.
There are only two important things in life - There's music and theres girls, not necessarily in that order....
