Start small and cheap. When you get better, reward yourself with better gear. I’d get an Epiphone to start out with and a Fender or Marshall amp. You’ll get great tones without breaking the bank. Buy them separately and test them out before you buy. Usually a guitar and amp is all you need unless there’s no distortion channel on the amp. At that point you may want to get a distortion pedal by Boss but that depends on your style of music. Again, this advice is for beginners. I’d recommend higher-end gear for an advanced player.
