Depends on the guitar player, There are no set rules but generally rhythm guitar players stick with pretty basic guitars, meaning no Tremolo or other whistles and buzzers, Basically good allrounders, nothing fancy, But that's not to say some don't over the top, Kinda depends on the genre your playing and what your trying to do, Right tool for the job so to say, A well stocked tool box is nice to have though.
