I need help picking an electric guitar
Ballard:
Everything.
valley_parade:
Seriously. Aesthetics are about 46% of the reason I'll like a guitar. It's why I bought a Firebird. Looked great, sounded pretty good.
greenMonkey:
Aesthetics were one of the main reasons I bought my Dano. It's purple.
Also it was dirt cheap and sounds pretty great.
Nodaisho:
Honestly? Sure, the Cherry SG looks nice, but I think that guitars look best in black, though that H.R. Giger RG from Ibanez looks pretty cool too. And this is coming from someone who almost never wears black, so it isn't to go with my outfits or anything. Les Paul liked black guitars because apparently they make it look like you were playing faster, but to me, they just look simpler, drawing less attention to the guitar and more to the playing.

Jeph made a great point earlier. I suppose the only input I can give you would be-
Learn your scales up the neck and practice 'em, like, every goddamn day. Scales are a key part in improv playing, which you said you rued your lack of while playing the sax.
Also look into music theory, if you haven't already. Different genres of music, especially when played on the guitar, are defined by variations on a theme. You take your major chords and change 'em slightly and you're into another realm of music (i.e. 7th chords in blues).
Hope that helps somewhat.
