Try learning how to play appregios, ie fingering the chord, but playing one note at a time. This will help correct any bad habits you have on your keyboard hand, by making any bad or buzzed notes stand out like a sore thumb.

The most important consideration is the tone you're looking for. Personally, I find humbucking pickups more versitile and responsive. Next is the the neck. You want a fretboard that you're comfortable with. Then there's the weight. I have a vintage Fender Jaguar that I rarely play, since it weighs a ton.
Someone else mentioned Ibanez as a good, relatively inexpensive brand. I agree. My guitar of choice is still my 25 year old Ibanez Studio. I did replace the pickups with Seymour Duncans and added a phase switch. But this is one playable guitar. YMMV.
If you want something super cheap, but playable, check out the Dean guitars.
