Since I am a Tele fanatic, I have to recommend those due to my bias. Most are pretty light weight, the Thinlines are very light. You can get a Squier or Modern Player version pretty inexpensively. These are foreign made Fenders but are very decent guitars for the money - less than $300. Besides being light weight, they also have nice thin necks...very playable! Fair warning - try a Tele and you may be spoiled for all other types of guitars... I have 2 so far, but always looking for another one. Good hunting!
Judge a band by the guitars they keep. If there are no Telecasters in play,move on.
