Looking at starting to learn guitar...

I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar, especially an electric, so this year my wife is going to buy me a "starter kit". It consists of a Squier Strat (by Fender), a small practice amp, gig bag, tuner, etc.

All that for around $250...which may or may not be a decent deal.

I found it at a local music shop (read that as, NOT Guitar Center) where I am also considering taking weekly lessons.

What I'm looking for is the following:

1. Does anyone know anything about these Squier Strats? They seem nice, but then again, I know NOTHING about this...

2. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to practice to gain proficiency? My goal isn't (necessarily) to join a rock band, but more to be able to pick up and play some classic rock songs....

3. Anyone have a recommendation for a reputable/knowledgeable instructor in the N. Cincinnati area?
