Best Guitar for recording direct into an interface?

A_Particular_Geetar

Looking to start recording direct into an interface to stop annoying my neighbours. 

Anything I should look for in a guitar for cleanest signal to my DAW? 

I'm thinking anything with humbuckers will suffice?  My interface has an instrument input for guitar.

EMGs if you are bothered.

Out of interest, why EMGs?

If your interface has an instrument (Hi-Z) input I would expect any electric guitar to be OK.

Just use the guitar you have.

They are Noise Free.

Air guitars are mostly noiseless, i use one frequently and my neighbours have not said a word.

The guitar you like the sound of the most.

I don't understand? If you've got an instrument in then use that with whatever guitar you like. You could buy a decent DI box such as the Orchid DI and use that into the interface.

Or perhaps Kinman noiseless pickups?

To elaborate on my previous comment...the best guitar for recording in any form (direct or otherwise) has just two criteria:

1 - Do you like the sound of it
2 - Can you play comfortably, cleanly and precisely on it

Anything else is completely secondary to those things.

Suddenly I feel like I've wasted a lot of money.......

I'd get this rather than a different guitar:
