Loaded question.
Hundreds of good playing 6 strings for under $500.00.
The problem with the SG is that it doesn't have a long top horn. They look like devil horns but that is about it.
Very hard to balance. Not real comfortable.
Don't discount e-bay. You can get a really new,
made in Mexico strat or tele for
way under your budget.
If you look long and hard you can pick up a new, one owner, barely used
Fender American Standard Tele for $500.00. Maple neck of course!
These are the top of the line Fenders sans Custom shop stuff.

Spend a couple weeks lurking on e-bay and you will find a great Gibson, Fender,
Carvin, Ibenez (I've been had), or some other guitar company's USA stuff.
Remember.. All companies have a top and bottom line.
$500 or less should get you a really good electric guitar.
