I know this topic has been done loads, but lots of us have a little extra time at the moment...
Looking for a superstrat type guitar with a trem and interested in people’s thoughts. Ones I quite like the look of are the Musicman Luke (probably ii), the Ibanez Satch models, maybe Vigier but probably a bit out of price range, or Jackson Japan Dinky type guitars. To play some metal type stuff but versatility would be good too.
I’m normally a vintage style tele player so would probably get on better with a slimmer nut width, hence the Satch and Luke, but happy with a flatter radius. I know people haven’t probably compared all these models but interested in people’s thoughts or if there’s anything I’ve missed. Suhrs would be nice but a bit out of price range, ideally would like change from £1000. Obviously current climate dictates no try before buy.
Cheers for reading and stay safe folks.

What about Charvel?
Also, I've been looking at the Balaguer guitars on the Guitar Guitar website:

Otherwise, a 90s Hamer Centaura or Diablo are both great value for a USA hand made guitar and can be found pretty regularly for well under your budget.
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
I've owned 7 or 8 Hamers over the years but never got to try a Diablo.
Great guitars but I'm not sure if they've used the same neck profile and width across all versions
I have both and they will easily do the style you want. Different neck profiles though and the feel on Ibanez is a little slinkier I find.
Mine are all strung up with 10 gauge strings and use either Edge, LoPro Edge or Floyd trem systems.
