advices on progressing up from a beginner guitar?

started off with a cheapie jameson and am now ready to step up to a nicer guitar

i *think* i want a humbucker hollow body, i'm preferring the vintage sound and neck and also like the jack white guitar style/sound


based on that, the 2 guitars i am currently eyeballing are the fender telecaster thinline 72 reissue or the fender pawn shop offset special.
the big difference between the 2 is the tele has the fender humbuckers while the pawn shop has the jzhb pickups.



big question- can i buy used? and is that a good idea and any headsup re: prats and pitfalls to look out for buying used via ebay or craigslist?

re: the 72 reissue, if i can go used, does it matter which country of manufacturer? japan, mexico, or china?

also, i *think* i also want a ~15 watt tube amp to go with this, is that about right? suggestions on that? are those mini amps worth a shit?

finally, based on the sound i like, what are some good effects to buy first, just a simple overdrive pedal?

most are prolly familiar with the 72 reissue but the other seems kinda unique so here is a link to it



hey, thanks!
