Mind you, while I can't fault you for wanting to get a Fender (or Squire) just to establish some sort of connection to K-On!, both Ibanez and Washburn make decent entry-level guitars. While I'm primarily a bassist, I do have a modified Washburn WV16 (original price= AUD$350) that I have in store if I happen to be auditioning to play rhythm guitar for a hard rock band. While I have replaced the stock pickups with EMGs, the guitar (pre-modifications) did provide plenty of bang for the buck.
As I said, look around, and try out different brands while keeping a clear budget in mind.
--EDIT--
@ AC730:
The luthier who's been setting up my guitar and bass used to work for Metallica ages ago, and he'd often share plenty of stories about what life was like touring with all the various big names in rock music.
