Ok, i have £500 to spoff on a new guitar. Right now, i vacillate daily between a MIM Tele and an Epi Casino(which i admit is a pretty wide vacillation) but my head can be easily turned by other shiny things.
Im going to say new only because its all very well saying 'you can pick one for for £?' but that might be months down the line until i find a used one. Imagine i am a seriously impatient 4 year old and treat me as such.
I know most of you know more than me. Hive mind - deploy!

Other thing that is somewhere between the Tele and the Casino and would be well worth a look is this:

I have one and it is brilliant.
I'd echo the warnings about buying new and losing a ton of money. If it were my money (and I'm more than happy to take it off your hands...) I'd have a trawl through the classifieds here before I took it near a real guitar shop.
If you really have to buy a new guitar and you're considering MIM Fenders then- not to put too fine a point on it- you'd be a massive idiot not to have a good look at G&L Tribute series guitars as well before you part with your cash. Fantastic value, particularly at the silly prices Thomann are currently asking. UK RRP is right up at the top end of your budget but Thomann has them for £300-£350. If you end up going that route don't thank me, just send me the change
...of course, if you're prepared to wait a while and keep a weather eye on eBay, Gumtree and the like you might just snag yourself a USA G&L for that sort of cash, which would be a farking bargain.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
If that's correct I'd say a Strat, and my personal choice would be a S/H USA one (but you might need about £50 more in the pot).
As for not waiting to find the right bargain, that's half the fun ("it's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase")
Love that. Love the colour - its the discontinued Muddy Waters signature one(i dont know how they managed that hes been dead 30 odd years) basically isnt it? I nearly had one of those on Ebay last year and lost out. My only reservation there is that by preference id have a maple board. But that is definitely on the list.
I crave affirmation.
I know, if there is something suitable in these here parts then thats different. I need to get in a shop and play some of my options really
Take it. My pin is...
Yes, fancy that too. Looks very nice. Nice price too
The G&L Bluesboy tele is very much on the radar.
