Looking for a budget, fixed bridge versatile guitar (self.guitars)

Can anybody recommend a decent guitar with fixed bridge? My budget would be roughly £500 max. I used to play mostly metal, but I'm now looking for something more versatile, possibly with a good clean. I just can't deal with tremolos and Floyd roses anymore

Edit: thanks everybody for all the recommendations, I'll soon be going to the store to try a few :)

People have already mentioned these, but a Squire or equivalent Tele, Revstar or hardtail Pacifica... Does Yamaha sell a hardtail Pacifica for less than £500 these days? Well, if they do, check it out. Cheap Pacificas are generally great value for money.

Of course, my favourite fixed bridge guitar these days is my Worn Casino but I guess it's not as versatile as the others. Still, I think it comes in at under £500. I paid $600 Canadian for mine, with a case.
