Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Buy an Fat strat, like the first dude said
I suggest keeping the stock pickups unless you play heavier metal stuff as well, in which case you guna want to switch the bridge humbucker out for a EMG (81 or 85 depending if you lean for lead or rhythm)
For an amp i suggest a Mesa Boogie!.!.!.!.!.wait!.!.!.!.!.!.no!.!.!.!.!.!.newer player!.!.!.!.!.bad!.!.!.!.!.!.idea!.!.!.!.!.
Try a line6 spider series amp, they have them in 1-300 dollar varieties, and are all very good!. My practice amp is a Line6 Spider Jam (the wife and neighbors prefer that over my FOUR AMP SETUP(EACH RUNNING TWO CAB'S)Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you have enough money to spend, buy a guitar to do wth Fender/Gretsch, as they are very good!. Strats or Straticasters are the best choice of Fender as well as the Telecaster or Showmaster, which are also quite popular!.

If you're looking for an amp, go for Marshalls;most pro guitarists/bands use these!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Test them out and which ever one is the best for you buy!. I normally pick them by sound but it's also important to feel comfortable playing the instrument!. Don't buy one that flips upside down if you let go of it!. lol!. Bad weight distribution is annoying in a guitar!. You might want to ad the type of music you will be playing!. I would never buy a strat!. They don't work with death metal well normally!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Fender Stratocaster or "Fat-Strat" are both classics!. They'll run you about $400!. GREAT guitar for the price!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
