I have a 1999 American with locking tuners and Noiseless pickups. I paid $600 for it second hand a few years ago.Set up by Mike Lull (Seattle guitar guy to the stars). Great guitar, and so much better than the 1972 I had that it's on a different planet. The 72 was at the height of the cheapo years, and it showed.
Agree on getting good amp, which to me means tubes. Take a look at the Fender Blues Jr. It's a great little amp for the home. I'd avoid a fancy electronic "modeling amp" with a thousand built in effects, even though they are amusing, because they never sound all that great. Add pedals for effects.
