good is defined in many ways, but good beginner brands would be Squier, Epiphone, and Ibanez.
If you want an electric guitar, I would go with a bundled set, which comes with an amp.
Whammy bar is optional, but you will probably not use it when still learning.
You can always check a music store near you (like guitar center) and ask the staff.
