I just sold my 2006 Highway 1 strat. It was ok but I think the MIMs are just as good for half the money. I too have heard lots of good things about the Classic Vibe Strats and teles. I have a MIM strat in Olympic White currently I got off Craigslist for $250. Ill probly tinker with it and upgrade the electronics sometime.

I'd like an early reissue strat but I'll wait a few years before I buy another gee tar.

As far as amps, the Vox Valvetronix models are good for practice amps. I just upgraded mine to some low watt tube amps but it served me well for 3 years.

If you want a cheap low watt tube amp that does great cleans and is easily modifiable check out the Blackheart amps in 5 or 15 watts. They aren't made anymore but are pretty easy to find on Craigslist or ebay. I got mine for $125 and it sounds great!
