Electric guitar for noob

I wouldn't buy a used guitar at a pawn shop. Just to get a feel as you say. I'm not that big on buying used anything as a general rule. My hands are probably medium size and I know I'll not be able to handle a big neck so that will play into it. And I don't want a real heavy guitar.

Other than that I'm pretty open to whatever. I just don't want to go real cheap and then regret it a year from now.

Sounds like the anti ad for a Les Paul    There are still some lighter LPs, but I'd stay away from the 50s style neck if you go Gibson/Epiphone, as those are thicker.  The neck radius will vary from other manufacturers.  

When I got my first electric, I ended up with a Fender strat.  That guitar to this day fits like a glove against my body and I can wear it for hours.  I've got other guitars, but I still always gravitate toward to that one if I'm going to be playing a while because it just feels the best to me.  Finding the right guitar is a great feeling.
