have asked this question on other forums,but just thought i'd ask here also (as i haven't visited this forum for a while).at present i do not have my own guitar/amp.am eyeing up one of the squier classic vibe butterscotch teles (as i have always loved those guitars/never owned a tele with only single coils).am also thinking about one of the vintage les paul type guitars (either a lemon drop/paradise guitar).have also been thinking of a yamaha pacifica (with the coil tapped humbucker).am a rubbish guitarist,but mainly attempt to play rush/metallica covers (other things if i can learn to play them what might you recommend (any other guitars also that i haven't thought of). thanks oh and when i can afford it,am planning on getting a yamaha thr 10 amp to plug it into

The Fender Standard Stratocaster with a humbucker in the bridge comes in under your range and is a fantastic guitar. Godin also makes some great guitars in that range. One of my fellow guitar teachers suggested one for one of his students who could not afford a Les Paul and he ended up buying one when the student brought it in. Great guitars. The Standard Telecaster also is a great guitar as well.
