Judging by the headstock in his profile pic, I think that sounds like very sensible advice!
You should be able to find the odd Lucille on the 2nd hand market (although a lot fewer than around than the likes of Dots/LPs etc), and may well be worth stretching your budget a wee bit. Plus I believe they hold their value pretty well, which can't be said for most beginner guitars when bought new.
If you're able to get to London, this could be worth a look?

And there's a couple for sale on Facebook marketplace.
Only trying to help bud.
Having bought an Epi Dot used for less than £200 (including Epi hard case), and also having played a friends Epi Lucille, I prefer the Dot, despite the price difference.
Now, obviously aesthetics are personal, but a stepping stone maybe to get a Dot in ebony to get you most of the way there (difference being lack of f-holes and the Varitone on the Lucille). If you don't like it, you will have no trouble selling it on, and if you do like it then all's the better. There are plenty more Dot's available too on the used market (expecially if you aren't absolutely bothered about the colour) than Lucilles too.
Either way, good luck.

Thanks once again for all of your help and advice!
I too have just bought an Amplug, the AC30 and was very impressed with it, also didnt realise when ordering that it has a built in chorus, delay and reverb. There's some clever folk out there thats for sure!
