Hey guys. I started playing again after not playing for several years. I got a strat pack from a friend for a hundred bucks. I bought a looper pedal and an overdrive pedal. I've been back at it for a month or so and just starting to sound okay again.
https://klingeltonemp3.info/gitarre-klingeltone Anyway, I plan to blow my income tax return on an amp and new guitar. I'll have about $1200 and maybe could throw in a couple hundred more if I need to. I was thinking about a fender mustang 4 and a mim strat or an epiphone lp or maybe even an epiphone or gretch semi hollow body. Just wondering if anybody has any better suggestions or opinions. I play mostly blues when I'm at home, but can go play with some friends in a garage who play more rock stuff than blues. Also, I used to go to an am vets on Thursdays to play some old time country with some old guys I know on their open jam night.. Guitar Instrumental Solo:

As for guitars, you can't really go wrong with any of those. A Strat and a Gretsch are quite different in terms of both sound and the physicality of playing (slinky, contoured solid body vs chunky and hollow) but both are great instruments so whichever you prefer you should have a great setup.
As regards amps, as @stickyfiddle has already said, the Boss Katanas are getting great reviews. It depends what you're after though. My own preference has always been for simpler amps with fewer bells and whistles and without USB connectivity. Amps that fit this bill are the Roland Cube series which are pretty tough and are very intuitive to use, and the Orange Crush and Crush Pro series.
Blackstar or Roland as mentioned above are better sounding amps imo.
I'd also be tempted towards a second hand US standard Strat/Tele or even an Epi Sheraton.
Best of luck man.
