Guys, c'mon!  The OP specifically said

:"The budget would be £400-500 max for guitar and amp. It's imperative the amp has a headphone jack due to the time of day I get to play and my consideration for neighbours, and others in the house! "

So recommending gear outside his budget or an amp that has no headphone socket (e.g. the valve Laney Cub that Blueskunk recommended) really isn't helping him.

Well that's scuppered my suggestion of a Custom Shop Telecaster and a vintage AC30 then.

Ok so update time....

At midnight last night an ad appeared on Gumtree for a Squier Affinity Strat for £20(!) as it had some 'battle scars'. I took a punt and picked it up (the lady said that at 9am she woke up to 27 texts and emails about it but mine was the first!)

Left it with a chap who used to give me lessons to let me know if it's worth cleaning up and restringing etc. 

Still in the market for a Pacifica as a better stop gap until next year when I can pick up
something more serious but thought this would be a fun little diversion, even if it's just for taking apart and getting to know my way around an electric!

Well done, sounds like a plan!

You guys haven't been paying attention.

So I just bought this. I need to stay away from this forum

You've got a great buy there! Any decisions on the amp front?

BRISTOL86

Yeah I reckon so!

THR10 looks ace if I can find a used one for £150ish I'd be sorely tempted
