There are like none. Go to www.musiciansfriend.com Yes there are ! Look at the Xavaire Guitars at guitarfetish .com Almost all of them are under $200.00. I have the Surf green "Strat" and it is beautiful and plays great . ( I did have a professional "set up" performed on it for $60.00 which is recommended for ANY new guitar. Keep on rockin in the free world...........
There is no answer for the best guitar. The better question could be, is the guitar's sound good enough for the type of music you like and you want to produce. A splendid performance of guitar playing is much more important.
Ovation all the way , they look odd to some people with their modern looks and the plastic bowls at the bottom which enhance the sound but I played over 50 acoustics from garbage I fixed up to 1500$ or so 12 strings and I kept going back to Ovation.
the celebrity models if anything they are electric too. But don't be afraid to buy used guitars you'll save a lot of money.
Being Australian, I can only assume you mean AU$500 and that will buy you a whole selection of fine guitars. Dean is a good brand and well made, as well as a decent Fender strat. You might even be able to get a brand new Ibanez for that price, but you will have to get one of their lesser engineered models. I'm sure that if you looked around, you will get an amazing pre-loved guitar for 500.
I bought a Squire (Fender's entry brand) Stratocaster and a Line-6 amp for about $250 and am very happy with them.
try the gibson les paul 60's tribute with p-90 pickups for about 650 or the fender jaguar for about 750
You can get cheaper Gibson guitars for under $800, and they will always appreciate in value.
The Ibanez RG350DX is a great axe for about 350 it's one of the best in the business. I've had one for years and it is great, and it's got the looks!

Gibson SG
Mahogany or Alder.
o.07
If it has any kind of electric pickup or built in microphone setup, then the best and most clearest recording can be done using a guitar cord to USB interface and record it directly to software.
S6
the wesley dominator. it will be on the wesley guitars website at the end of April
Les Paul
I know this isn't a real answer but to be honest, it would be an INCREDIBLE terrible guitar. Better to save up for a good one.
It depends on personal preference classical music would be best played on a classical guitar, metal would sound best on electric acoustic is a different sound so it is up to personal preference
Boss Efffects
squire stratacaster
Tough one. But if you don't mind the wood, I think Schecter builds a nice one for cheap.

probabaly the Gibson sg
D`Addario they make the best sounding electric and acoustic sounds on the market
You can purchase an Epiphone electric guitar from your local guitar or music store, where you can talk to an employee about the guitar that will best suit you. You can also go to an online music store where you can usually find reviews as well to help you decide on the best guitar for you.
