I'm picking up the axe again after a long , long break , and still looking to find me a new axe , since I've sold my tele and am now stuck with a terrible sounding squire .

But since there's too many choices , I would appreciate any suggestion on what axe to buy ( around $1200 ). Fav music is blues , not too clean of a sound . I'm kind of hoping one of you will lead me to that one axe I just have to own .

Plus , since I'm not that rich to buy a brand new amp along the way , I got offered a Marshall JTM60 , really cheap and hardly used ( 120$, from a friend of a friend of a friend ) . Good to start out with , or ..... ?

Thanks in advance !
