Start with how it feels.
A guitar should make you want to pick it up. Try different body shapes, check the weight, and see how the neck fits your hand.
Find your starting sound.
Single-coil pickups often emphasize clarity and sparkle. Humbuckers offer a fuller voice. P90-style pickups sit in a lively space between them. Listen with a clean amp before adding effects.
Leave room for the essentials.
Your first setup needs a tuner, a cable and an amp or an audio interface. A comfortable strap and a stand help make practice part of every day.
