I would pick up a $350 sage-green strat from fender and a 15W marshall combo amp for ~$100. throw in some picks and a distortion pedal, youre fuckin ready to rock.

edit: dont forget a few instrument cables and a strap.
edit 2: consider the standard les paul from epiphone. also the telecaster is another option.
but I would go with the sage green strat
