I recently bought an Indio Cali for my daughter, and I'm amazed by how much guitar this is for the price. I have no idea about the amp, but the guitar is significantly better than most of the Fender Squires I've seen.

Came with a really nice gig bag and was totally playable out of the box for novice me.
I filed the frets down to a "Squire" quality in a few minutes as they came a bit pokey.
I would buy this over the squire bullet series in a heartbeat. You aren't getting significantly better quality/QC until you spend a lot more money on a classic vibe or the like.
So, with all those things being fact, this package is quite a good deal. You can say, "Well, it's just for a kid". Or, "I got one to just mess around with and not care so I use it for travel or gigging or whatever". But you could pretty much say that with the $849 Fender Player series or the $849 Epiphone Les Paul Standards. Because they all come from the same place. Same woods. Same luthiers. Same quality-control.
So, yeah ... this is a good deal and I would suggest it. The reason being .. the next step on the rung is $5900 for a guitar built in Nashville by American hands. That's quite a leap.

And no one needs a practice amp if that's all it does, Your (newer) phone will do guitar practice with a $2 adapter, headphones and stuff you already have.
If we're lucky the Monoprice $200 25lb 1x12 Celestion all tube and reverb, effect loop sockets, combo will be $202 sale plus % off in January. Or maybe used; but there's more higher used prices than some lower. And you gotta check it out.
And the <$40 (Wish app plus coupons etc...) Cube Baby effects pedal, with amp and cab IR's it pairs very well with the tube amp. Giving headphone and line out, USB audio DI interface computer DAW recording in without noise. Boost, noise cut EQ and rich range of any tones most effects. 3 preset foot switch for desk or floor. Manual mode is all easy knobs, just like the tube amp. You can turn up a health range of distortion rock tones by upping the gain, volume in balance. And on the Cube Baby more gain by turning the amp knob around just the same. An the same gain knob for each also for fine setting. including famous amps and their channels. Along with the cab IR knob's for the 4x12 Mesa etc Image Response. Covering the full spectrum of cleans to ultra metal. And mixes tube amp preamp tubes gain level with Cube Baby amp IR's healthy digital preamp. Fun to compare and AB. What else is there?
Heck, if you're gifting then you could buy a $60 Strat plus the <$40 Cube Baby instead; even without a power amplified speaker. They could plug in their headphone to the Cube Baby. And it has Blue Tooth-IN for your backing tracks etc... Your band in one pedal box. Charged for days and days; before you insert you USB charger for just a few minutes. No multi power wires and other patches needed! And you can connect it to anything with amplified speaker. Like a BT speaker aux port. A kids Karaoke machine. Computer speaker if nice. Old stereo at a garage sale. Stuff in your basement. LOL. Until you get a combo amp, slick deal; that's portable, can play loud with a drummer at locals for that. And does perfectly, at extremely quiet room levels in your bedroom also. It's only 25lbs and the Cube Baby almost nothing. It's solid, about a pound. Very well built and like tank.
