What's some good years for a Strat?

I'm going to buy one in the summer and I want to get a good condition used one. I played a couple new ones in the store yesterday and I wasn't as impressed as I was with the older ones I've played before.
In a perfect world, I would buy a 57' reissue, but that's just not in the cards now.
What are the good years for newer strats (1991--->)?

Frank, if theres one question i can answer on here suffeciently, its this one! (thanks by the way, i finally get my chance to babble) My first question is....What is yoru price range (i see yoru in canada, i can relate much better) Also, are you looking for a "new" one (just regular production from said years) or a "Reissue/ or special edition" from those years? This will help alot. Im asumign your right handed too?

This is what i could find from http://www.songbirdmusic.com thier inventory changes constantly, but definately the best place to find vinatge/used guitars in Canada. It is all VERY well priced to. That 1957 reissue you mentioned is available for a decent price, but its consignment so you would not be able to cut a deal. This is what I could find, any new strats are generally all the same price at bigger stores, Personally i woudl stay away from ebay,i got burned once and its to much of a commitment to base on pictures. Anyways, i hope you like those axes, i have PLENTY of more resources if you woudl like them, cheers

Awesome, thanks man. Looks like I'm going to go to Toronto sometime in the summer to this place. I played one of those Clapton strats, a 97 I think, and it was awesome! It sounded so nice and played like a dream. They wanted a lot of money for it though, like $2500.
yes this place is this shit i must say, a nice place for middle road vintage stuff, nothing is immaculate, but can suit the wallet of the average player,they have killer amps too. JTM60 there that i was interested in. Also so nice 70's fenders

I was told that the most I could get would be like 500 bucks. Maybe I'll sell it privately instead. Hopefully get like $675- 725 area.
Also, if you want to build your own to spec (with limited options) one of the best bargains you can buy in a strat right now are the folks out at http://www.carvin.com
You can also go strait custom for less if you build it yourself using http://www.stewmac.com http://www.warmoth.com and or http://www.usacustomguitars.com
