I have found that it doesn't really matter how much a guitar costs in reference to how it feels in your hands.I've played guitars costing in the thousands as well as those costing in the low hundreds,and found the cheaper more comfortable at times simply cause of the neck shape,body to string height etc.Personally,I think the idea of a mix and match guitar is best.For example,if you like the feel of a narrow neck(jackson,ibanezetc)but want a strat body,prefer humbucker sound over single,tremolo or non,then go buy the parts that make up the perfect setup for ya.If you cant put it together yourself,get a pro to do it.This way,you get
the best of all worlds! Northwind
