Looking at getting back into playing the guitar (as a hobby) after many years away from it and can afford the good stuff now.

Primarily I wish to play surf and intrumental rawk-a-billy type stuff, so I'd like a warm, throaty sound with a bit of twang.

Sort of narrowed it down to either a Gretsch Flat Duo Jet or Stratocaster American Classic model. But hey, if there's any Gibson fiends out there, let's hear it.

What kind of cool toys (fuzzbox, humbucker pickups, etc) should I look into as well? Amp suggestions?
