Pick of the litter

A used DC3. You’ll be able to scratch your Strat itch, and the neck profile will be the same as your current guitar. Sonically, it will be as far from your Starla as you can get. You also won’t break the bank. GC has some used ones well within your budget.

Maple top Core version Mira. There’s one on EBay I’d buy now if I weren’t so broke! Every time I hear PRSh test amps with that blue one, I want it! Under $1500 shipped.

Mira's are ridiculously fun guitars. Good enough for Joe Walsh, after all!

since you didnt specify what sonic problem you were trying to solve i'm going to suggest you get a used DGT
