You can still get the USA Vintage Reissues, but they are now around £1,200 RRP, & very good they are too. But a Classic Player series model at around £400-450 is 90% of they way there for a third of the price. The 'Classic' series '50s Strat in F.Red is also very good, but only has the basic generic ( non-Fender ?) alnico pickups, although it gets you in the right ballpark. Depends really on how much you want to invest.
