It really depends on what music you want to play. My advice would be to go down to a local guitar shop and try out different Guitars. You also want to find a guitar that feels right, not just sounds. Everyone's got a different opinion so just experiment. Gibson 355s and Fender Telecasters are stereotypically rhythm guitars and Fender Starts and Gibson LPs are seen as lead guitar, but I've got a Gretsch Pro Jet Black and, personally, I think that's a great rhythm guitar.Overall, it depends on the sound YOU want, so just find some spare time and try out different makes.

∙ 13y agoanything with 24 frets and either Dimarzio or EMG Pickups (81/60 combination)
more frets = more solo possibility
Dimarzio are the best passive pickups everyone turns to
EMG are more powerful and have this cleaner sound and they sound great for solos.
be sure to try out 7 string guitars too, they are a bit harder to play but they can solo more as well, the extra string does come in handy believe me.

∙ 13y agoanything with EMG HZ or active EMG's is what me or my friends would recommend, I personally play rhythm on my low end BC Rich Warlock in C# with very heavy strings.

What is the difference between the Rhythm Guitar and the Lead Guitar?
Rhythm guitar and Lead Guitar are two elements of music not actual types of guitars. Rhythm guitar is a foundation which others in a band can "anchor" themselves to and is essentially the glue that holds together a band. Lead guitar is ornamental. It's meant to compliment what else is going on in the music. The two aren't always used in a band at the same time anymore however. The rhythm guitar has been slightly phased-out by modern technology ie the DJ. In recent times, lead guitarist really implies rhythm AND lead guitar work. But the stigma attached to guitarists is that a rhythm guitarist isn't a skilled as a lead guitarist. The truth is that any guitarist worth his salt can do both. Versatility is the key.
