If I had that sort of money for a Strat I would probably buy a Tokai instead:
Is that because the MIM Fenders aren't that great? I was mainly looking at a Fender as it seemed sort of right if I wanted a Strat to get a Fender one, but they get quite pricey.
I've looked at a lot of the selling sites, but there's basically too much choice! I just wanted a tobacco sunburst Fender Strat and once I started looking the list is endless, and sometimes with eyewatering prices...

No, not at all, I think I'd rather just have a guitar made in the 1970s or 1980s if I could and I really like the Japanese ones and their weird names.
I've got a Breezysound and a Super Axe, and I would love that all-black Silver Star.

Whatever you go for, I would want to play the thing before buying it. When I got my tele I played loads before settling on a standard MIM - it wasn’t the best plugged in but a pickup swap (custom shop Texas something or other) solved that.

That's probably just because I've decided that 1980s Japanese copies of American guitars are my thing, but they're highly regarded for the price.
