my advice is to go to your fave guitar shop and play some... the one that speaks to you - that's the one!! 

I am sure many others onhere will give you some great advice on the intricacies of that first purchase however.

Good luck

Good advice already given, although I have a couple of Epiphones and like them a lot. (sorry, Graham ) If you walk into a trusted local shop, tell them what your budget is, and ask for recommendations, they'll usually try to help you find the best fit for the price. How it fits your hands is a very important point to focus on. Lots of things can be changed (pickups, type of amp, type of strings, etc.) but the shape of the guitar really can't.

All the best, and welcome to Chordie!

I agree with Lisajohny9878 suggestions but in case you need cheaper options, try Epiphone, Gibson's second brand, or Squier, Fender's second brand.     

Thinking about new songs ..

I think the best bang for your buck is a Fender Squire, easy to play, light and a fast neck with great sound for $200.00 I own one and they will do the job

I bought K Tone double neck electric guitar from Guitar Center about 6 weeks ago. I figured if nothing else it would make a great wall hanger. I have been pleasantly surprised. For less than $250, it's a steal. It actually sounds great on both necks. I am a daily player for about the last 3yrs and have owned up to 20 guitars at one time. I now have 7 and will keep this one. I may put better tuners on it later on and better toggle switches, but those are cheap fixes compared to the price of any major brand double neck. I give it a 4.5 on the points scale. Just my opinion folks.
