You can't go wrong with a Tele or SE. In both, even reasonable effort will yield great value for money, and you should be able to find the tone you want easily. I think Gretsches are a different, love-hate kind of deal -- more inconsistent, and a bit more distinct tonally. I don't go for them, but those that do love 'em. Try before you buy. And the art of chording, rhythm guitar is fantastic to explore.
