As far as which guitar, it depends. You don't find the right guitar for you, it finds you. You will know when you come across it. So for now, just save your coin and don't buy one off the net unless you are like me and buy mostly for collection value. Out of all the numerous instruments (28 now.... I got a new one coming :)) I only play maybe 3. So find you a nice guitar store that has a wide variety of instruments and take a few hours to find one that "feels" right to you. Make sure it's comfortable to you both sitting and standing. Even an amatuer will know if the neck feels good or if it is too big. Also don't worry about string height when you are looking at a guitar. Most are shipped with only a halfassed attempt at a setup, and most reputable stores have someone in-house who will set it up properly for you after your purchase.
Also I have seen some PRS guitars go for BIG bucks. More than I would be willing to pay for a guitar, and I have been known to blow some INSANE cash on an instrument... I have seen one PRS custom 2 neck go for $40,000+
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?
