Ive owned many strats, and my favourite, which goes out to work every weekend is a 1991 Jap 62 reissue. Late 80s, early 90s JPN, cant go wrong (depending on condition ofcourse).
Strats can be a minefield, but being as theyre all Partsocasters, nothing is unfixable. Just find one you like and buy it....
BTW- the USA Eric Johnson sig model is a very very good strat, good as Custom Shop without the price tag.

Im craving an Eric Johnson strat lately. I hate the single ply pick guard but thats an easy change. Great guitar!
I feel the same about the Nash. Played a few of them and they do feel nice but I think most of their relic jobs are way over done. I have seen a few Nash teles that were quite nice looking though, when not over done
I loved my standard american strat. If i couldnt get an Eric Johnson model I would get the std American model and make a few changes to it
