I don't want to rain on anybody's parade but it isn't so much the guitar, it's the amp that really makes the difference. All these tiny lunchbox type amps, modeling amps, headphone amps etc. are IMO not going to get you where you need to be. Even if you only want to play at very low volumes a quality amp is a necessity. It would be like going out and buying a top notch acoustic and then playing it with earplugs. I can make a $150 guitar sound great through a nice tube amp but I can't make a $4k Les Paul sound good through a $150 amp.
