Guitars can be very different in their sound charactaristics and choosing the right guitar for you depends on the style of music you wanna play.

Anybody should answer these questions first before buying a guitar:

1-Do you want it 6-strings or 7-strings guitar?

2-Do you like Fat Humbucking sound or Single Coil pickups sound?

3-Do you like using Tremolo-bridges or fixed bridges. If tremolo is what you like, which do you prefere Fender Standard or Floyd Rose?

4-Do you like 24 or 22 frett necks?

5-Do you like big or small necks?

6-What about the scale length , 24.75" or 25.5"?

If you can't answer these yourself, find a someone you know closely who can do it for you.

If you can't find anybody to help you choosing a guitar, a safe solution is buying the cheapest Jackson,Ibanez or ESP you can find with (Humbuckers, 24 fretts and Floyd Rose Tremolo).
You can't go wrong if you do so.
