You asked for a guitar that's good looking, has a warm sound, and good action so it's easy to play.

GIBSON or EPIPHONE. Gibson of course will cost more but the Epiphone knockoff's look almost the same and sound very similar. They are certainly warmer sounding than any of the Fender/Squire line.

The Gibson/Epi guitars have the humbucker pickups and they will naturally give you a nice fat, warm tone whether played clean or cranked into distortion. The popular ES-335 semi-hollow series are superb jazz guitars, nice and clean while the solid body guitars, the Les Paul and SG among others, sound good both clean and cranked.

I'm partial to the SG since I have owned one and played it for many decades. Just an all around excellent guitar and one that doesn't kill your shoulder in those 4 hour club gigs. Les Pauls, while sounding really nice, tend to get heavy towards the end of the night. A buddy had a LP Goldtop and used all sorts of wide, padded, straps to alleviate the pain, and he was a "big boy" but that LP worked on his shoulder as the night wore on.

Of course, there are now a number of other manufacturers who are making guitars that are also suitable and fit the needs you asked for.

My advice on buying a first guitar is this: If you are able to afford buying a nice professional level guitar, such as a genuine Gibson (or equivalent), by all means, do so. It will cost more initially, HOWEVER, it will hold it's value and if you decide in a year or so that guitar is not your thing, you can more easily get your investment back out of it. Cheaper guitars lose value very quickly. IN addition to the guitar keeping it's value, a professional guitar will be so much easier to play. Low, fast action, nice sound from the pickups, and will just feel better overall.
