Can you recommend any good cheap Stratocaster

Can you recommend any good cheap Stratocaster

I recently purchased a 1989(?) squire HM strat with 2 single coils and a bridge humbucker + tremolo, korean made. Quite cheap, 150 € and great playability, perfect value for money.

GEAR:
  • Ibanez Lawsuit era Les Paul Copy
  • Yamaha CPX700
  • Blank slot

The Squier Affinity series is pretty good for the price if you're looking at new options.

GEAR:
  • EarthQuaker Devices Westwood
  • Fender '57 Custom Champ
  • Fender American Original '50s Telecaster

I've used the JT-300 for years now, and all i've had to do to keep it sounding good is replace the output jack once. Other than that, a great cheap strat.

  • Vox AC15
  • Gibson ES 335 Studio Dirty Fingers Plus
  • Ernie Ball Power Slinky Guitar Strings (11-48)

What's your price range?

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition

I've tried a Cort G-Series Strat and it was quite all right. It produces an all right tone and has a good feeling. It may not sound very well with too heavy strings.

GEAR:
  • Martin HD-28
  • Dunlop Primetone Small Triangle 1.3mm Guitar Picks
  • D'Addario EJ12
