In Nice Dreams, Chong plays a Gibson ES-335 "Dot".
In Next Movie, Chong plays three guitars;
after the beetle smoking session he solos on a heavily customized Fender Telecaster.
In the music store with Cousin Red he starts soloing on a Fender Stratocaster copy, but in the cutaway scene where he blows up the amp he's holding a Gibson Les Paul (a film editing goof).
New Gibsons are very expensive instruments.
New Fender Strats and Teles are slightly less expensive.
Visit a music store and try 'em all out to see which one you prefer.
I do not advise you to buy guitars mail-order or online, because you can never be sure of the quality.
