Just pick your guitar up and start making noise it worked for me and is cheaper
Yeah! 
Teaching/learning yourself is a lot of fun! Learning the ultra basics is easy and you can do it on the net, and then you can try jamming to your favourite songs. It's a lot of fun.
I never played through one, but i heard a lot of good things about them. I do think they're pretty cool, but i could never afford the one i'd want. I do have some Black Star distortion pedals and they're really good quality, but i never had one of their amps.
I don't have anything fancy. I used to use a 100 watt Marshall but now i just use a 75 watt Line 6. Both my Tele and Jackson sound really good through it. I wish the distortion was a little better, but it's not all that bad. Clean is awesome.
I got a 75 watt Spider Jam, just because the shop had one and i needed a new amp, and i had heard good things about Line 6. To be honest, i've been using it for a couple of years now and it serves my purpose. The jamming functions are good and you can get some really decent tones out of it. I just wish the distortion was a little better.
Cool, nice one. SG's do look the part, don't they? And they sound great. Nice purchase!
I've wanted a Vox amp for a while now. I currently have an old Marshall half stack (that's a bit worse for wear) and my main amp is a 75 watt Line 6. It's pretty good, and good for what i need, but i'd love a Vox. They just sound so damn good. 
I wouldn't know how to advise you on which one is the one for you though.
A lot of people seem to start playing when they're 12 or 13, but i say do it as soon as you can! I think teaching kids music is a great thing.
I got my first guitar (A Squier Strat) when i was 13. I was in love with rock and heavy metal and i wanted to make a noise like that. Unfortunately, i soon got tired of simply banging the strings and making a terrible sound and i gave up on learning to play. I then tried again when i was about 18/19, and i played (badly) in a local band, being taught by the lead guitarist along the way. Unfortunately, we lost contact and i was back at square one. It's only in the last few years that i've actually rekindled my love of the guitar and learning how to play more properly. I kinda teach myself and it's slow going, but i genuinely love every minute of playing guitar. I'm influenced by Megadeth, Queen, the blues and all kinds of stuff. I play a Road worn Tele, and my pride and joy is a USA Jackson KV2. I don't care how bad i am......it's enjoyable!
I know that on certain sites i would get flamed for this, but my favourite player is Dave Mustaine. He isn't the most technical solo player (though i do love his solos - they're so damn aggressive!), but his rhythm is second to none. He is a genius riff writer, and he possesses true song writing skill. He's a legend. Don't worry, i'm not one of those Metallica hating Megadeth fans (i think both bands are legends), but the guy gets a lot of BS and hateful comments flung at him, and he doesn't care. I love everything about the guy's playing/style, and far from being overrated, he doesn't get a tenth of the respect he deserves.
I also can't help admiring Brian May. Nobody else on earth sounds like him, same with Ritchie Blackmore. Jimi Hendrix, Marty Friedman, Chris Broderick, Chris Poland, Michael Amott, Ritchie Sambora......i won't list all day long, but there are lot of favourite guitarists in my head.
One of my favourite ever guitarists! He's a rare breed; he has the amazing technique and ability, but also he has his own unique style/sound, and attitude. I love the way he plays.
