My First 'real' Guitar - But I Need Advice! Options

[Pavlov]

As some of you know, I only very recently started playing the guitar. The guitar I have now is a Squier Standard (Special edition, Black & Chrome), however, since I'm a rather short person and have short arms, I'm having some difficulty when an entire song's notes are on the lower, first couple of frets.

So I was wondering, what guitar would you recommend me? I have about a 5-600 euro budget (max, also wouldn't mind spending 400), but I'd like to have a guitar with a rather short neck. I was thinking about the fender Mustang or Jag-stang - while I heard it's quality is subpar, I like the looks and wouldn't mind modding it as I get better.

I also really like the Firebird models and, to a lesser extend, the Gibson SG. I have no idea about their neck length, however.

So I was wondering, could you perhaps recommend me a guitar? Other models are okay too. Some of you may raise an eyebrow over what I'm going to say next, but I'm real big on eye-candy too. One of the (many!) reasons I started playing the guitar, was because I want to justify starting a collection.

Thanks!
