I'm looking for a new guitar but I don't have much money. Does anyone have any ideas for a cheap but good quality Fender guitar? Can you also include the list price of that guitar?

The word "Standard" is the one you want to look out for, my friend. The merest glance at Google reveals that a new Made in Mexico Standard Strat will cost you around $400. Superb value, and many on this forum swear by them (in a nice way).

Too pricey? The merest glance at Ebay suggests that this same guitar can be had "pre-owned" for around $200 up. Shop carefully.

Still too pricey? It's the Squier Standard Strat for you. Most of us started there: the launching pad for so many stratospheric (and less so) careers.

Get searching and saving.

Great advice - I would add to check out craig's list too. MIM guitars are found daily between $200 and $300 dollars.

Have fun! :)
