I would advise at looking at something like a POD Go and a 10" FRFR speaker over an amp if I was in that market.

Well I agree that a great amp is a great sound thru all manner of guitars and price points .
But I would also suggest for a beginner IMO it takes more electric playing experience and critical listening ability to actually utilize and appreciate what a great tube amp offers tonally ,, than what a good guitar offers. Especially coming from an acoustic guitar background YMMV .
Now I am by no means suggesting the OP should run out and spend big bucks on a guitar,, particularly since she has offered no actual budget dollar figures . To my mind the ratio of amp to guitar price, arguably depends on the actual total budget amount ..
