Thanks for your inputs, they are very helpful. I listen to a lot of country, mostly the newer age stuff, I like southern rock and oldies rock, and like to play that kind of music on my guitar, I'll play just about anything I can teach myself or me and my friends can figure out.

I have found,locally, a Line 6 Flextone II 60 watt with a footboard and some nice effects for 200 and that sounds like an awesome deal, or is it?
