First off and foremost if you want to be a Praise and worship leader who plays guitar I suggest you invest in a good acoustic guitar. I also recommend that it is an acoustic electric, so you can plug straight into a PA system and not have to worry about putting a pickup in that may damage your guitar, or putting a microphone in front of it to project the sound.
My top recommendation for an acoustic electric guitar, as far as price and quality goes has to be a Breedlove. You can purchase an all natural wood Breedlove acoustic electric guitar for as little as $579.00. For the quality of a Breedlove you can't beat the price.
For all you Christian Rockers out there, you have a few options as there are a few mini genres in Rock for which different electric guitars would apply. Let me also say this, it is easier and more feasible to play a guitar that is recommended for hard guitar shredding like a Jackson in a praise and worship setting than it is to play one recommended for praise and worship like anEpiphone Hollowbody in a hardcore rock setting, if you know what I mean. As for myself chose a different route since I play in a Christian rock band and also play electric guitar on my Church's music praise team. A great guitar I recommend for a situation like mine is an
Epiphone Nighthawk. The Nighthawk is a very versatile guitar that can be used in various genre settings, and again the quality is great for the price.
So in essence I've almost given my review in my explanation. However, I want to give you my preferences along with the electric guitars that I recommend for whatever type of music you are doing. Recommendations for genres go as fallows:
Regular Rock:
Hardcore:
Contemporary Praise & Worship:

Engaging with the crowd or congregation is an important aspect of leading worship also. Showing people that you are giving your all to worship draws others in to worship with you. What do you expect to happen when you just stand there with a blank look on your face playing guitar?
