1K+ is not affordable dude. That’s a serious purchase.

[DominickChirchirillo]

I'm mostly a telecaster and les paul special guy. I'm mostly not into "metal" / floyd rose guitars but a few weeks ago I was in a local shop and fell in love with a Jackson soloist. I couldn't stop thinking about it and went back the next day and bought it. I love that guitar. I cant stop playing it.

[brrblack]

After owning Fender, Schecter, Washburn, Ibanez AZ, Stearling and Kiesel, I fell in love with Charvel DK 22 with standard trem', Still have the Fenders and Keisels.

[thatjacksondude]

After years of swooning over them, I finally got a Charvel So-Cal earlier this year and I absolutely love that thing. I know some of the stuff is more traditional that what these offer, such at the blocky neck joint, but the next profile is just perfect for my hand.

[SamaelDionysus]

building one yourself may not be the most practical option, but it is SO rewarding! I built one using a hardtail HSS body that my uncle helped me paint in his garage, a mighty mite 9.5 radius neck with sperzel locking tuners, and for pickups i used a dimarzio cruiser neck, true velvet middle, and super distortion for the bridge. i ended up taking it apart a long time ago and used some of the parts for other guitars, but i'm in the process of finally rebuilding it 🥰

[JohnnyRestrayned]

As many have already mentioned, Charvel San Dimas and Charvel DK24, are hands down fantastic super strats! I own two Made in Mexico Charvels and they play like butter. They are usually around $1000 new, but you can also find them much less on the used market.

[vesslewis]

I have bought guitars based on your reviews and did not regret it. But I have to say for someone in the budget superstrat market, you can't overlook the HB fusion series. My first gen Fusion maple neck/ mahogany body Floyd equipped monster is still amazing me even today. I've had it for about three years and paid around $350 and you could probably pick up used for less. SS frets, Grover tuners, split coil HH. I threw some SDs at it (even though the stockers were okay) and it is right up there with my Ibanez, strats and pauls.

[creepinonthebabes]

need more hard tails options., HH, spoke wheel truss rod, ss extra jumbo frets, ebony fretboard locking tuners. 1v 1t

[dontderockmerizz]

Great video Darrell. My super strat made in the USA is my 1991 Fender Prodigy. Paid $349 back then & it’ll hold its own with any other super strat.

[Mr.Goldbar]

No guitar I've ever tried in my life gave me the same feeling I get when I play my Ibanez AZ Premium, this guitar has been my main ever since I got it and I'll never part with it :)

[metalhead_]

The Schecter and the Shijie, but then I’m only fuelling my G.A.S. 😅

[SeRgU]

I have an Ibanez S521 and it is an incredible deal. Great tune stability, amazing playability, decent sound and the best, incredible looking.

[thebaldshredder]

Nice list. I'd have to add the made in Mexico Charvels. My DK24 is outstanding.

[danielstryhanyn]

These are great guitars! Also I think Yamaha Pacifica 612 is another great super strat. No stainless steel frets but it is speced out.

[justabug]

Based on your review of the Schecter C1 SLS Elite, I purchased one a few years ago and absolutely love that guitar. Just a beautiful, specked out instrument and sounds fantastic with the Fishman PU's! All credit goes to you Darrell.

Excellent video, as usual!
Always liked the Ibanez S-series, yet I've never owned one. Hmmm....

[JonathanHiller]

You should consider the RGA42FM model, I prefer it to the S series. Contoured Body, very thin and super lightweight, 2 humbuckers, 5-way switch, Wizard 3 neck. Amazing guitars. And VERY reasonable for the level of guitar you are getting.

[greekfreak]

-Ibanez RG Genesis Series ( Made in Japan re-issue of the iconic RG Prestige Series from the 90's) for under 1000 Euros.
-Charvel Pro Mod Series, San Dimas or So-Cal ( for a more oldschool 80's style superstrat) or the DK24 ( for more modern type of superstrat).
Those would be my recommendations.
