sorry i didnt know u werent a begginner. my first guitar was the fender squire strat package thing. then i got a custom made guitar with a les paul body style, and the action on it is amazing. one option u may consider is a Jackson guitar. they are made by fender now, but they are still good. my friend has a jackson and it plays good and sounds nice. my other friend has a ibanez he bought for 200$ (hes left handed so its hard to find a good cheap guitar) and the action on it is HORRIBLE, but it sounds nice. If u have a store that sells guitars go in there and try some out and find the one that u like best.
