Axl, in most good big stores in London (dunno about the rest of the Uk) Usa Strats and Teles sell for 599...exactly 599...its a sign.

check out www.sohosoundhouse.com...they are very good...also try your local soundcontrol...I have only been to the ones is London and Dundee, but I am sure there is one in your nearest city...try www.soundcontrol.com

also, another really great store (that do alot of internet stuff...I bought my Prs there, but in person) is www.guitars4you.com, or maybe .co.uk.

The guy who runs guitars4you is called Mark and he is a really nice guy.

But you should be able to get your choice of usa strat or tele (the standard ones, not deluxe or anything).

I personally like the ash Teles that sell for about 759
