I wanna cheap stratocaster

Question

I wanna get an inexpensive strat. Which guitar is cheap but high quality?

Answer 1

The mexican made strat is less expensive than an american strat. I have seen some mexican strats that sound just as good if not better than an american strat. It's the same parts with the same quality, the only difference is the country it was made in. The next step below that would be a squier. I'm not a big fan of the squier, go for the mexican strat if you want one for the money. It also depends on the individual guitar... I've played some crappy american strats that just werent put together right. Then I've played some mexican strats that were out of this world.

Good luck and GOD bless.

Answer 2

i was gonna say squier strat'

and maybe you could get new pickups on it.

Answer 3

Squier has really stepped up with their vintage series and even the standard Squires are good.  I put a "duncan designed" rail in the bridge of mine, ($30) and its still one of my favorite guitars and it was the first.

I'll put it like this, my Squier is nice enough that I feel it'd be a waste of money to buy a standard Fender strat.
