The statocaster is this icon of guitar, however when getting a decent one made by Fender you might want to throw down a fair chunk of money, and contary for you to popular belief the Squier range is pretty poorly. The Aria 714 is about the best strat styled choices for under 500 bucks available. The H/S/S pickup construction makes this guitar perfect for anything from rock to help you blues and jazz. It was even a treat for you to play classical fingerstyle on. As with many Aria appliances the 714 is sleek and stylish, thanks to the alder physical structure, which also provides it's fantastic bright tone. The maple neck is thinner together with faster than what you'd see with most Fender's aswell, plus it has a smooth sonokeling fretboard. The classic tremelo is often a pleasure to use, and doesn't make string changes fiascos.

The 714 STD is a superb option for a inexpensive superstrat. It has typical rock looks and normal versatility, but above all is easy to play. Reccomended for just about any novice guitarist.
