Alright this sounds easy and maybe I'm being lazy but I 'm looking for suggestions on strat style single bridge pickup guitars with maple or ebony 12-16 radius fretboards , alder body and only alder body with vintage or NON Floyd Rose tremolos.

I see the new evh series with basswood bodies and I see tons of these with Floyds on them . I have a Charvel DK24 with this set up but I don't want another DK. I would like something to complement that guitar with the same neck specs and no Floyd Rose.

Help me through this .
 
I`m not much help but I'd like to hear some suggestions if there's anything that can be bought off the rack to what your your describing . I put this together back in 2008. Fender Highway 1 body , Warmoth neck with 12 radius fretboard . It's had a few different pickguards and pickups over the years but this is what it looks like today

Nice! The combination is what's hard to find unless you want to have one built.
 
I gave up and just assembled the two I have. I like the Warmoth necks and bodies as I think they are an improvement over the typical cost reduced current production products. I don't care about resale value, rather have something that works for me.

I was gonna suggest that new black/white striped series but it is a basswood body and made in Indonesia. It's priced way too high for that imo.

I'd always hoped the EVH brand would make the B/W stripes with a vintage style trem but I was also hoping it would be under a grand like most of the guitars in the striped series

This - I have assembled more guitars than I can count. My current stable of ‘players’ are all assembled from Warmoth and/or Musikraft parts. I have found that these parts are milled so accurately that they rarely even need fretwork after assembly and proper set-up. That way you have exactly what you want.

I am currently digging the Wudtone 6-screw trem, which features a hardened steel baseplate and bevels underneath each screw head and on the underside of the baseplate, effectively turning the trem into a true, single ‘knife edge’ pivot like a Floyd or 2-post Am Std Fender, but with the bigger, fuller tone of a traditional 6-screw.

I love Warmoth. But gotta say their website redesign has probably lost them a ton of sales. It's SO SLOW and you can no longer search in stock products across the board - you have to dial in on whichever model then see what they have in stock. And did I mention, it's SLOW?
