Best stratocaster copy?

You could find a used Fender Mex Strat for around $300. You can find a real US strat used for $600.
 
You can certainly do better if you're price range is actually up to $1k. Do you want to stay inexpensive, or do you want the best strat for under a grand?

Honestly, for around $5-600 you can get a Japanese Fender Strat that will give you the most bang for the buck.

Others I'd look at, in a variety of price ranges:

Yamaha Pacifica
Fernandes Retro-rocket
Fender California and Aerodyne series
Ibanez Talman
Carvin Bolt and bolt plus
 
i like inexpensive cuz im gonna be using it for postrock/shoe gaze meaning i can upgrade pups + pedals :D Also I'd prefer a copy rathern than having the fender logo on the guitar just a personal thing.

What he said...the MIJ Strats are pretty hip.
 
Agree about the MIJ models and there are killer MIM models if you demo enough that will hang with the $1500 MIA strats.
