I have an Anderson Drop Top (Super Strat), and it's hands down the most precise and perfectly made guitar I've ever owned....so this is an easy win.
I've been a Les Paul guy most of my life (have a closet full of vintage). When I decided to try a Strat, I built a dual hum partscaster (and used Anderson pickups actually). It absolutely crushes, and it was blast to build.
If you have some screw and glue skills, go on eBay and search for MJTele (Mark/Matt Jenny - father/son team).
They sell Strat bodies and necks and they're outstanding.
They're very similar quality to Nash - which by the way, if you didn't like the one you want, try again. Most of his guitars are great players and have outstanding tone.
So my recommendation would be:
1) Anderson
2) Nash (again)
3) Build a Parts-caster with MJTele Parts
