Looking for a cheap superstrat

skullfunkerryskullfunkerry Frets: 4202
in Guitar
 I've been looking at the @peachguitarsdotcom website for a new guitar with a fixed bridge. Don't really want (and can't afford) to spend much on it, but I want something decent that isn't going to let me down if I start gigging again. Without going in to have a try I'm thinking Ibanez RGRT421 or RGA42/RGA421... Anyone got any thoughts about anything around the same price point I could look at as well?
Too much gain... is just about enough \m/

    New or pre-owned? 
    You say, atom bomb. I say, tin of corned beef.

    Not fussy tbh... I started looking through eBay though and kind of gave up, there's so much shit out there :D

    Cheap new fixed bridge super strat that isn’t shit = Yamaha surely? 

    Failing that it has to be Ibanez.. RG321?

    That's pretty much what I'm thinking... was just wondering if anyone was going to suggest LTD or anything like that

    For the money I reckon a Yam Pacifica or an ibanez will get you what you want in spades and a ltd won’t give you much more at the low price points..

    I've had my yamaha RGX121D (a slightly more agressive Pacifica with twin HBs and a SC) for over 20 years now, it's a super guitar for the money. 

    Now called the RGX121Z iirc

    What about a Cort with Gotoh trem in Tequila sunburst, blower switch gives it a nice bit of extra grunt
    £350 o.n.o

    Ltd’s will be built solidly. 

    I’m a big Ltd fan, but they are self confessed not the cheapest. 
    The build quality is good and the hardware ok, though I’m not sure on sub £400 models for example, but the lh150 buckers are alright, and esp own tuners I’ve had seem to be fine.  

    But Ibanez, something like this Rg https://www.guitarguitar.co.uk/product/180108320415008--ibanez-rgrt421-wnf-walnut-flat
    has a thru neck for £345. 

    Cheaper are the s521 Mol types. Think theyre like £290 odd. 

    The Rg241’s about £250
    The only easy day, was yesterday...

    Cort X series. An X6-HT was my main gigging guitar for years, currently own an X16-LTD which is easily comparable to ibanez prestige (my avatar pic)

    @sweepy Sorry dude, but I definitely want a neck humbucker.
    Couple of good suggestions there though, I'll do some investigation. Thank you chaps!
    @skunkwerx, that RG is the front-runner at the moment based on looking at the Peach Guitars website. I do love a reverse headstock!

    Kramer Barretta Special - got one for next to nothing and it’s seriously impressive, especially with a pickup swap.

    If your ok with second hand what about a used Jackson dinky? The made in Japan ones are cheap for what they are

    Agreed, and I really like Jackson necks. Not so many hardtails around though...

    how about this (shameless pitch)

    My trading feedback

    is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
