Looking for a $400 or less electric guitar with a rich sound.

I tend to noodle around and play metal, but I want to find a guitar that has some versatility. I'd just buy a Jackson otherwise.

Full disclosure I'm 36 and haven't played since I was a teenager. However, my friend let me borrow his Fender resonator acoustic recently and I reallllllllly want to get an electric now.

As looking at the Yamaha Pacifica but it seems like the tone might not be what I'm looking for. I do however love the look of the guitar.
