Update! I'm now the proud owner of a used sparkly black Ibanez Gio, a Katana:Go, cheap bag, and various picks for $340, from American Music. Dude was helpful and also gave me like $100 off the sticker price.

Heeeyyy Fedi!!! I have a question that I *know* a bunch of you are going to be able to answer.

For the past couple decades I've wanted an electric guitar, but my ex always shot it down. So, now that I've escaped that abusive relationship, and with it nearing the holidays again, I've decided I'm going to finally get one.

Last time I played guitar was in middleschool (and some bass in highschool), so I'm starting from scratch.

My constraints:
- 6 string electric guitar
- under $200
- used/hand me down is great
- pink would be awesome
- probably right-handed (because that's what I learned on)

Does anyone have a recommendation (or better yet, an old guitar near Seattle that could use the sweet, sweet love of a new owner?)

@alice cheap instruments are remarkably good now! If you're looking in the $200 price range for a new one you're comfortably above the "possibly trash" tier. Here's one I found on Sweetwater

You can definitely find something better used, perhaps on Craigslist, perhaps in-store at a Guitar Center if they're not bankrupt yet. But that does require some knowledge to make sure you're not getting something broken. I'd recommend it if you've got some time to do research
