Please feel free to comment on the combination of a Music Man Cutlass and a Line 6 Spider Jam combination.

Thank you.
I have not played any Music man Guitars but the Cutlass seems like it would be a really nice first electric guitar Modern /vintage Strat type with silent single coils and locking tuners what's not to like . If you have been able or will be able to play one, it will not take long to know if it is what you want.

The amp ? I would definitely recommend go play as many different amps in your budget range as you can. I honestly do not know if I played the Jam when I went on the same quest a year ago, I played a bunch of amps in the $300 to $700 range including several line 6 amps . . After playing a number of offerings in that price range I found that I did not really care for the sound of the digital modeling available at that price point area. And I found that I preferred the sound of valves over SS also

And obviously those are completely subjective considerations BUT For me personally Valve or solid state I would rather spend my money on quality physical components than digital features. But you have enough experience with sound to just go play and you will fairly quickly get a sense of which direction you want start with.
