I think a modelling amp is the way to go. You can get them fairly resonable these days. Positive Grid Spark, Boss Katana, Line 6 and Fender Mustang are just a few that I've looked into myself that are around 150-250 range. From what I read the Spark has like 10000 tones on their cloud so I would think there are plenty of tones for the artists you listed. It won't be exact, but you'll get the versatality your looking for without buying and modifying a bunch of guitars. I'm guessing you don't have an amp at this point anyway so you might as well go this route. A good Tele doesn't necessarily have to say Fender on the headstock. There are many affordable options out there that won't run you in the thousands. Pickups and pedals can be added later on when your ready to finetune the sound you want, but with the modelling amp you may never need that. Good Luck.
