Find a guitar players forum in russia if you can. Ask them for pointers on which guitars are good in your country. One of the guys in ZZ Top has among his many guitars, a Russian made one. He can't play it brcause apperently Russia uses a different cable size than standard, at least on that model of giutar. You can find good riviews of guitars at Harmony Central. Use the internet for your research. Google How to buy a giutar or guitar maintenance to tell you what to look for.
You are looking for the same things you would look for in fine furniture with a guitar. You want everything to fit, good craftsmanship. Look at where the neck joins the body, It should look like a solid joint, no gaps. Check out the neck, make sure it is straight not warped to the side or twisted. Just sight down the neck like you would for a piece of lumber.
Sounds like you need to google for the players you like the sound of and see what they are playing, single coil or humbuckers. You like hendrix, then single coil is the way to go for you. It is much better for you to play a guitar you are thinking of buying. You can order a 2000 buck guitar and end up with a poor sounding guitar or find a beatup junker in a pawn shop that just blows you away. Sometimes it is the luck of the draw what your going to get when you order a guitar. good luck
