I agree with the others regarding the guitar choice. That plus the amp is $1900 total ($1500 + $400) unless you've found a deal somewhere (or used models).
You can get a new Fender American Strat for $1000 (Guitar Center price) and a Fender Princeton amp from American Musical now for $900.
I have nothing against Line 6 amps, but the Jam is an older model (the modeling is 5 years old, at least), and unless there is some reason you want the built-in looper or extra inputs, you could get the same sounds from a Spider IV 75 - used these are going for under $200 now. You CAN get good tones from a Spider amp, and having the built-in effects is a plus if you want to experiment with sounds without spending a fortune on stompboxes. I record with a Spider 75, and have had people think I'm using tube amps - when I dial in the sound 'just so'.
