Looking for a new electric; is there anything out there that'll give as much versatility and decent tone as a USA Strat? I love Strats and wouldn't go for anything else except that I don't want to spend mega bucks, maybe a max of £500. I think I could get a decent 2nd hand USA Strat for that, but maybe, as I'm really out of touch with what's available these days, I'm missing something? What are Mexican Strats like now, for instance? Maybe there's another brand copy that's good, cheaper than a genuine Fender, worth looking at? Or something entirely different? I'm looking for a good, distinctive tone. I'm definitely not a Gibson man, so Les Pauls and SGs won't cut it. Ideas?
