Recomendation for me?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to decide what guitar to get next year.

I'm either going to get a Fender Strat (USA) or a PRS SE Single Cut Trem.
I'm a Les Paul user, so I decided to get the PRS SC. I heard PRS guitars are good, so I want to try one out, but...

At the same time I also feel like trying a new guitar design, the strat. The main problem is that I can't afford both, so what are you're opinions on which to get?

PS: Could anyone tell me the prices of these guitars? I think my estimations might be wrong

seriously, consider those options only when you have the money. you will only feel miserable thinking about it everyday.

Actually I don't give it much thought at all, since I already have another guitar, but still, I'm interested to find out what everyone thinks about the guitars.

A MIA Fender strat standard is around 1.8k if im not wrong, and the prs SE singlecut trem is $950 i think

Agreed! STRESSED EVERYDAY! :x

I can't afford both too so this is what I'll do,

Save up money and get the PRS

Then,

Save up more money and get the Strat, maybe not a Fender.

Save up more to get the PRS not the SE models

Well, what PRS can I get for around 1.7k?
Anyone know approximately how much an SC245 or 250 costs?

lol, I think I'm really starting to aim abit high though...
that always happens to me when buying stuff. First $25, to $50, to $100... and all the way up, then after that feel like getting something faster instead of saving, then aim down again... then up down up down cannot decide

I'd recommend that you get the Strat for tonal versatility. Brendon sells them at about $1.6-1.7k new.

If you are set on getting a PRS, do consider the Mira, which retails at $2.3k. It has a switch for coil-splitting, which will give you single coil tones.

If you are willing to spend about $1.7k on a guitar, why not consider getting the PRS SE AND a CIJ Strat? A secondhand ST72 (which goes on sale pretty often here) should cost you about $700, and the SE can be had for about $900.

You might want to invest in new pickups at some point though.

You can get a guitar coil-tapped for $35 at G77 actually. I'm thinking of getting only one, which is why I decided to ask around which people like more before going down to check myself.

And 1.7k's my budget Anyone know what PRS I can afford? Anyone know the price of the Starla? Looks attractive
