im far from any guitar expert- strat doesnt mean fender, i had a older 68 strat and liked it better then the new ones- however there's certainly a list of options- the G&L tele style looks nice for $300 bucks- but anyway- i can understand your feelings about a neck, thats my main concern, before you decide on an amp ( i dont like line 6 anyway) i suggest get your guitar, whatever you end up that, and take 'that' guitar and actually try the amps
