I'd get a Yamaha revstar for that budget.

Last I checked there were a couple Washburn MG USA series on GC online, basically a Jackson Dinky profile from Washburns Custom shop back in the 90s. Grover Jackson designed and oversaw their custom shop. One was 400, the other 600. Nice guitars.

I'm a fan of the ESP stuff, and you can find good condition LTD 1000 level guitars in that range all day long.

I just saw one of these at the Knoxville, TN GC but I don't see it listed online. I think it was $299 and seemed to be in pretty good shape but I didn't play it. It looked just like the one in the photo.

Some good suggestions in here. I may try to save a little more. Found a Carvin ST300 that looked great and I'm kind of interested in FGN guitars.
Otherwise I may just get a PRS SE and call it a day. Need to check one out to see how the necks are. 10" Radius scares me but the Torero is a 14".

Is that the Premium 900 series?

Hard to find but here is my latest metal aquisition, my heroes guitar!!!!!!
Super nice playing feel and sounds massive, very fast shredy neck.

The PRS SE Myers and Marsden are really good axes.

Look for a used LTD JH-600 or KH-602. Thank me later.

These seem really nice. Would be a tough choice as I like the JH but have never had a Kahler.
Still looking but I may snag that ST300 I mentioned in the OP. Out of the PRS SE line the Custom 24 looks best to me.
So far it's narrowed down to those two, an Ibanez 1570 or I may actually just finance a custom DC600 from Kiesel.
I am interested in hearing more about the ESP's though if anyone has the knowledge to share? I've seen people say M-II's are garbage and others say LTD's are good.
I just don't know what are the good and bad when it comes to ESP.
Edit: I need to make up my mind and I've narrowed it down. Made a new thread Carvin Vs EsP

The LTD 600 & 1000 series made in Korea are solid, especially at used prices. Unless you get a smoking deal ESPs are generally going to be way over budget.
I personally prefer the Kahler because the strings can be lower, they don't dive into the fret board like with a FR. It also leaves more wood in the guitar. That said I also prefer the slightly wider neck of the KH.

I don't really know anything about them. It's probably a good deal for the money though.
