Im looking for a guitar to tune to C standard. with HH or HSH configuration
I had a les paul clone to do this but as my main guitar is a American strat the les paul just does not feel comfortable. the thick body pushes into my ribs. "I have the guitar up pretty high"
So Id like a Stratocaster style body definitely with the belly cutout "even im not fat"
But I am not stuck on a certain brand and would also love at least a interesting color/pattern
Ive been looking at some Dean guitars Dean Guitars MAB-3 for example or an Ibanez.
budget wise id like it between 400 and 800 euro max as its a second guitar not for main use but stoner rock/metal
Besides fender Ibanez is one of the only I can try out localy. I can order plenty from online but then I don't get the chance to try which is why this question

Any tips for a c tuned strat type nice looking guitar?
Thanks !

... another Strat? Find out which years they were made with a swimming-pool route, buy a new pickguard and 'buckers, and find someone who'll do a wiring job in exchange for a six pack.

IIRC, mexicasters have a bridge route large enough, but the neck would have to be opened up a bit. Something to think about, depending on how comfortable you are with power tools.

I'm looking for something similar. Strat with two humbuckers. I think I'm going to find a used one I like the feel of and just swap the pickguard and put in some humbuckers. I'm not terribly handy so I'll talk someone else into doing it.

Blacktop Strats came preloaded with humbuckers.

Ive found a good solution checkout the Reverend Descent RA baritone with 26. 3/4 scale
Its kind of a short baritone great for c tuning and with pickups designed for the kind of in between bass and guitar notes lower strings have rail higher have regular poles
