Rondomusic.com is one of the best ways to get the guitar you want without the big company price. They have acoustic, electric, and bass guitars for sale that clone popular models from Fender, Gibson, Jackson, and Ibanez, with or without floyd rose style tremelo systems. Guitars can come in extended range versions of up to eight or nine string versions, which have not even caught on with some of the bigger names yet. They have higher end models that are expensive and more comparable to a big name company, so you really cannot lose. I purchased a Rhoads style guitar and found I was not happy with how those models weight balance, but the product itself was solid, only thing I would do is upgrade the pickups. Overall, excellent place to buy a first guitar for the beginner musician, and easily a great place for an affordable second or third!
