If you decide to go the Fender route, then I'd suggest getting a 'Made In Mexico' one over their USA counterparts. I own at Strat and a Tele and I think they're 'nearly' as good as the American made ones but for much less.
I agree that you can get a good guitar for around $500. I also agree with Redliner in that the PRS SEs are great guitars for the money.
I'd say try playing lots and lots and go with what feels good.
