I've been reading that those beginner kits that include amp are to be avoided? If I had to set a budget for guitar + amp + anything else, it would be somewhere around $300...
Also, are lessons worthwhile? I keep hearing people talking about how they learned to play on their own... Thanks in advance!

For me, I started with a strat copy and now, I play SG special.
I would go with an Ibanez or SG/Les Paul copy. Strat copies tend to sound "whiny" and hum a lot when you put it through any heavy distortion because of their cheap single coil pickups (cheap humbuckers handle better IMO) and lightweight wood.
