Honestly, go to a physical location and talk to the people there. They’d be stoked to help you find something on the cheap side that has some quality. You can buy a decent squire or epiphone for relatively cheap, pay the $100 or so to have it set up properly and it’ll be better than anything you grab off of Amazon or similar sites. Sweetwater.com is a good place to go if you’re insistent on doing everything online. Their customer services is great and they’ll walk you through everything.
