Eletric Guitar budget around $300

[twistedfaiz]

Hey guys, I can't really decide which one to get .. Budget around $300

I'm looking for a strat .. seen those from Squier and considering to get a California Series or the Affinity series .. can anyone give me any feedback for these guitars or any recommendations of which to get .. I play mostly blues and pretty much every genre ..

Thanks

any considerations for a strat-alike? Smash's S1 is highly recommended:

If you're looking for Squier, I recommend the California series. Its slightly cheaper than the Affinity, looks better with its pearloid pickguard and most comes with a humbucker at the bridge

But if you're open to alternatives, then you can also try Craftsman Strats [@ City Music]. Good for a beginner - cheap, sounds relatively good, and bang for the buck

both are made in China right ? I was told that the California series is a reigon exclusive .. is that so ?

Californias seem to be more available here, but whether they are "region exclusive", I've not much of an idea, though

You can go the second hand route. check you the soft classifieds or head down to 2nd hand guitar stores to have a look. you might get a better deal.

check out if Sound Alchemy has any more of those...

Yesh, sound alchemy rocks.
Can check craftsman, squier and yamaha there...
Or you can try kgarage at tymc, pretty impressed with their offerings.
