I am an Epiphone fanboy through and through-play both, though, if you can.

Re: Looking for a better guitar under $300

I think you should consider buying a used MIM strat or tele.  I find that they are way better than the cheap epiphones and squires.  They run around $400 to $500 new (depending on the model you get) but are often sold used for around $250 to $300, and are often available with Humbuckers in the bridge.
There are some pretty good deals out there . . . check Craigslist.

Never even thought of the MIM Fenders. Maybe you can find an HH Tele.

Re: Looking for a better guitar under $300

I have a  "Made in Korea" Tele with beautiful flamed maple top, set neck, and dual humbuckers that are coil tapped so you can play them single coil or humbucking.  It can sound like a Les Paul or a Telecaster . . .  a very very nice guitar that runs around $650-$700 new.  I have seen a couple of them for sale used . . . but the asking price used is usually around $400 to $500.   Once in a while you see a Thinline Tele with dual humbuckers . . . but they are generally a little higher priced also.

If you like the Strat sound and style then I would agree with upgrading to a MIM Fender Strat...lots to choose from. If you want a different sound and are happy with your Squire then maybe an Epiphone Les Paul Standard or Studio...

Jay Turser Guitars are a wonderful value for under 300 bucks, and you can get LP, LP JR. and other copies that play great.
Good Luck.
