Answer 1

There are too many good brands to offer here. I suggest you visit your nearest reputable music store and see what guitar attracts your attention. Play it, feel the neck, the action, and test all the knobs.

Then look at the price tag. Repeat the process until you find the right one. Don't get in a hurry to buy; it may take a few visits elsewhere.
