Cheap, typically Korean-manufactured "starter guitars" based on the iconic Stratocaster archetype. Startocasters tend to be of low build quality and manufactured of inferior parts. Some of them do make halfway decent project guitars, though.
Person 1: "Did you hear that Johnny got a Strat? I wish I got that lucky with my first guitar"
