Pretty much any guitar that is of reasonable build quality and is properly set up will do the job. Epi's are as good as any other guitars in their class. More importantly, make sure it is comfortable for you to play and is suitable for the musical styles you like. Ask the salesperson to demo. As for the amp, there are just so many to choose from. I'd suggest buying a small digital job with a good feature set and a reasonable price deal, initially. Save enough in your budget for a good set of headphones and an electronic tuner. The Fender G-dec is really aimed at beginners.
