i mostly want a squier strat, but is there anything better?



A Kramer Vanguard maybe, if you're into the Rhoads V style. A Fender G-DEC JR. is like $175. Put the Vanguard and the G-DEC together you've got yourself a total of like, $445 (plus tax, idk). But for practicality in guitars I'd say probably a Jackson guitar from their JS series for like $200-$300, even though they're a bit scratchy sounding, you get your $200-$300 worth. :)

Ok Poorboy, you want a guitar for less than 500. Wait untill Black Friday and go to Guitar Center and get a Lone Star Strat. Normally 589 but with a discount of 20 percent it will be less than 500. That is what I would do. You could also look at the Roadhouse strat and the Blackout telecaster too. I wouldn't mind having any of those.

Try craigslist. Go to musicial instruments. enter 500 in the max price. then use the search for stratocaster. You'll find a lot of em.

You can get a Gretsch Double Jet for 5 bills or a Standard Floyd Rose
Stratocaster, MIM Ash Telecaster Standard. I would get the ash bodied
Telecaster.
