Never played one but I've always had a strong attraction to Reverends

That.

I also think that Ibanez Blazers look cool as fuck. Always wanted to pick one of them up to calm my Strat desires.

G&L's are seriously good. I've owned two Asats, sold both of them for reasons I've yet to fully grasp. Will buy a third no doubt.

Greco. I've got an 81 Super Real Strat that I wouldn't trade for anything.

Got a 84 tokai telecaster that can stand toe to toe with most vintage fenders. As for strats my old band mate had a yamaha super rock'n'roller that was a joy to play and looked and sounded awsomeballs.

There are only two guitars on my wish list: Reverend Buckshot (or Unknown Hinson signature) and G&L Commanche. Buckshot because it has a body mounted Tele bridge pickup and a Filtertron type thing at the neck. The Commanche because it has that lovely Strat body shape with split coil pickups. For anything else in the Strat or Tele family, I'd rather just get a Fender.

I can only comment on the ones I played, even it was briefly but I honestly doubt you can go wrong with any of the higher end strats coming out of japan, no matter what brand. Fernandes, burny, tokai, greco,..etc.

As far as new ones go: G&L

The only strat copy I've ever owned is a Kramer Focus. Its kinda really bad, but its worn in just right. Was my first guitar, so....very nostalgic playing it.

If I were to go out and buy one, probably Carvin. Hella options, hella finishes.
