Like anything there are different models that would vary in price but think of a solid body guitar as if the entire thing was carved out of a giant block of wood.
They're generally more expensive because they don't warp or bend.
Just like regular lumber, heat and cold effect it and make it expand. When a guitar is 2 pieces, a body and the neck bolted on it can "bow". Alot of times the conditions and climate of the room it's in will make it do this and cause it to go out of tune because it's changing the bowing is in turn changing tension on the strings. Again, something a solid body doesnt really do.....so it's more expensive.
If you were experienced I'd say go to a pawn shop and look, this way you can mess with it and see what's what. Being that you arent 100% I would def go to a music store.
If you pick something up that's completely in tune and it's making a "buzz" sound, that's called "fret buzz" the strings are hitting the frets because the guitar needs to be adjusted. They can do that there in the music store, it happens...I actually have a 2 bass guitars that have to be fixed.
If you were to have that fret buzz happen at a pawn shop, I doubt they can fix it.
For your 1st guitar, dont be too picky, as long as it's not buzzing and the knobs arent falling off you're ok. When I bought my 1st bass I literally had to tape the jack and one of the tone knobs to the body.......it played fine.
Again, for around 100.00 you can get a brand new guitar that will suit your needs. They have "starter kits" at places like Guitar Center. It will come with a strap, probably a cheap cable and some picks......and it will be sold to you by someone who doesnt know a damn thing about musical instruments lol.
