Go for an Ibanez You might get some affinity series Squiers (low end Fenders) and a few Ibanez models like the GRX20, the GRG 150 and the GRG 170DX. From my experience, no point buying the affinity series Squiers, they are almost bottom of the barrel. I bought my brother a GRG 170DX very recently, from Bhargavas in Bandra. Do consider that, the tremelo is much better than Squiers', the powersound pickups are quite good and the sharktooth inlays and the bound fretboard are more than value for money. I got the guitar with straps and a good GB&A padded gigbag for 11.5K. If you are in Mumbai, contact Ashish Bhargava, and say you have been referred by Sanjiv from Bangalore, and ask for the price . Best of luck.
I dunno but I remember seing one Epiphone and one Squire for Rs 12-13K Ibanez are available from Rs10-11K onwards.
Contact me if you want an Ibanez S Series DX guitar for Rs. 15k. I bought it for someone (on IGT) a few months back from the US - he is upgrading to a JEM and wants to sell this.
