To get both a decent electric guitar and an amplifier for 200 bucks might be hard. Or will you be playing through some form of computer plugin?

I would try to find a second hand Squier or Ibanez, possibly Yamaha or Epiphone in your price range if you can put all the money towards just a guitar. Most electrics can cover most of the ground between really clean - really distorted in the end. Telecasters and Stratocasters get used in metal, SGs and Les Pauls in jazz and gospel.

If Squier, anything from the Vintage Modified or Classic Vibe series should be decent stuff.

Yes, I was thinking of getting a guitar and an audio interface and using virtual plugins on my laptop.

Like I am confused between, squier bullet Strat and tele then Yamaha Pacifica 012, then HH guitars like cort x1 and Jackson js 11 also like cort cr50.

Bullet Squiers aren't great. I would take the Yamaha out of these ones.
