Hard to beat a Strat for breadth of sound options, with 3 pickups in different places and 5 different combination options that all sound different, that's why I still play one. But, check out a bunch in your price range and see what you like best. Fit and feel of a Strat (or a Tele, they are similar) vs. a Les Paul vs. a SG or anything else is different, and only you can say what you like best.
