Looking for the best budget electric guitar

    Okay so I'm a pretty new guitarist (although I've been playing for a few years now on a Fender Squier Strat), and I'm hoping to start doing small gigs (with my band) within the next year, and I was wondering what guitar would be the best by (preferably for under €500). These are some guitars I have heard good things about:
    Ibanez RG350DXZ
    Epiphone EGGVWCCH1
    Ibanez SA360QM
    Fender Stratocaster Standard (which is over budget a bit, but is it worth it for a Fender?)
    I'm in an indie/ alternative rock band but I lole olaying heavier rock too.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful.
    (I'm also looking for an amplifier for around the same price range)

    I have an RG series Ibanez. Decent guitar but wouldn't buy one again due to bridge issues.

    My 2cents, if you're cosidering a strat, spend the extra cash and buy one. Go for a jap or USA.
    You can get a budget guitar now but you'll most likely end up wishing you'd bitten the bullet and bought bigger.

    You could always look at buying 2nd hand.
