Oh man, people in the 50s and 60s were doing it so, so wrong.

If you just want a place to start looking the PRS SE series guitars (Korean made) all play pretty well given their price point.

I would advise against a PRS as your first guitar becuase you don't get a lot of bang for your buck. I'm in a hurry atm but I'll doubtless add further comment later.

yes, he would, and I quote:

"Don't ask me, I've never gone below Drop D."

Another Tele vote here. They're the most versatile, and damn cool looking. And you can find Mexican ones on Ebay probably in the $ 400.00 range. There's some Squire Teles out there too, I believe. Don't ask me about the various pickup configurations, though. I play bass, I don't know from P90s and humbuckers and all that stuff.
