The amp is deadly important .. and the best guitar in the world will sound like crap coming out of the worst amp .. yet it's also true of the converse .. the best amp in the world will not make the worst guitar sound good.
You've got to consider a lot in a guitar .. the tone wood, the pickup, the bridge etc. A misaligned truss, fretware, bridge too high or too low can greatly affect your tone.
Personally I can't recommend any type of guitar. I feel the instrument is very personal. You just have to go into a shop and find one that suits you. I usually spend 2-3 months shopping for a new guitar before I find one that's just right. The same is true for the amp.
