For other excellent guitars on a budget, definitely look into Carvin, Schecter, and Jackson... and look for used bargains on craigslist!

I bought a Stagg Tele knock off and its not too bad of a guitar. It does have some annoying buzz at some frets, but that's normal especiallt for Teles and Tele knock offs.

That is NOT normal! You need a setup by a qualified tech.
