Oh man... are you opening a can of worms!!!
Personally, I'd never be able to choose between my Strats, much less one guitar versus the other brands.
At the risk of correcting myself before I even finish writing this... here goes nothing.
2001 American Deluxe Strat, teal blue transparent with maple fretboard, Vintage Noiseless pickups...
On the other hand, I have a 2000 USA Hamer 25th anniversary series Vanguard with dual P90's...
But in the 'bang for the buck" category, Danelectro Hodad for under $150...
Dang you!!!!!!!!!
