there are many good guitars, and it depends on what sort of sound you are interested in.
truth is the solid body electric guitar is mostly about electronics and neck action.
if you want a guitar with some flavor you must go acoustic.
the best guitars are mostly hand made, and just sound good, without amplification.
if you are interested in music (and resale value) look at martin and gibson. a more unique sound comes from physics, like ovation, etc.
if the interest is in noise anything electronic will do.
mostly play a bunch of guitars in a quiet room, and listen to them, check the neck action, listens for burrs, rough spots, dead spots, how long you can hear a note, etc.
a good guitar should be easy to play, should work well with capo without burring, and should have a straight neck. sight down the neck and check for bow before buying.
in the end, let the sound be your guide.
