I would budget about $500-550. Look for a used Fender Mustang III amplifier for about $175-225. And a MIM Fender Classic Player Statocaster about $300-350 used or a MIM Squire Classic Vibe Telecaster $225-275 used. All can be resold for close to purchase price if situation warrants the need to. But yet all are of a quality/price point where you will not feel a great need to upgrade for a while or if ever.
