They are often found marketed as "budget-priced" guitars aimed at beginner guitar players manufactured by a wide variety of manufacturers. They can also be found as high-end boutique models with hardware and components different from that of the original Stratocasters. These are usually regarded as custom-made instruments however, as the term "strat copy" carries a populist, mass market connotation.
