Yamaha Pacifica 120H BK

An amazing guitar for the price. And a versatile as well - anywhere from metal to country, it can greatly follow any kind of genre. Do not let this price tag fool you, the split-coil function with the humbuckers is just as good as it gets. The craftsmanship is pure Yamaha, where the attention to detail is noticeable. The neck and frets feel amazing and lets the hand slide up and down very smoothly.
This is not a "beginner" guitar, it is an all-round guitar at an amazing price, so if you are not much into switching guitars all the time when practising, this may do the trick.
