can't go wrong with a gibson, pretty damn pricey though. same with paul reed smiths. but if you like the strat, you could always just get some different electronics for it, throw in a seymour duncan pickup or something and let er rip, for around $100. thats what i did with my epiphone les paul studio, took out the stock pickup and put in a seymour duncan custom pickup. and its my main stage guitar to this day. its not quite the same as a higher quality instrument, but itll give you a better sound than those sludgy squier pickups.
