trust your fingers!
even if u go swee lee sale and firegrab one at 50% off you might regret it if it doesnt suit you since SL sale don't let u try out.
unless you try out first before u attack the sale... which is what i would do.
i suppose if you are new to electric you want to start off on lighter guitars with low tension... i don't know cause I started out with a burny Les paul custom, so it was humbucker guitars for me all the way, haha
