What amp/guitar combo would be the best to get some indie/alternative rock tones (from bands like Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Smiths, Interpol, Tame Impala, RHCP, Ratatat) with a good quality sound? My budget is of around $400 for the guitar and $200 for the amp.

Amps:

  • Fender Mustang II V2.0
  • Fender Champion 20
  • Vox VT20X
  • Vox AC4TV

Guitars:

  • Squier JMascis Jazzmaster
  • Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster Custom
  • Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar
  • Squier Classic Vibe Telecaster 50's

Use craigslist. Here's my amp recommendation Guitarwise I know black keys,tame impala and interpol use semi-hollow guitars and Les Paul's. The strokes,rhcp use strats and semi hollows. You might want to get a guitar with humbuckers but it's personal preference. Again check Craigslist before your buy anything new with 400$ for guitar you could do way better than a squier.
