Help deciding on my next guitar

[nevusofota]

Something that isn't on your list is an Ibanez J. Custom. Now, either you love the Ibanez thin wizard necks or you hate them. If you're in the "hate" camp I would recommend looking for an early J. Custom from early 2000's with the "Ultra" neck profile. It's not as thin and very similar to the PC-1 you mentioned (at least it felt the same when I played the PC-1, not sure of the actual dimensions). Quality is top notch and would fill out your collection. Here are pics of mine, its a 2001 RG1880SNT:

However, I REALLY love my Charvel CS

from what you listed I would go with GMW, you could go full custom to your specs, wouldnt have to be a V either

I've done quite a lot of digging and finding shops that have the guitars so I can play them.

Carvin, GMW, JG2, Caparison, Charvel, GMP and Luxxtone are out of the picture. To my surprise, I found that the custom shop Charvel's and Warren DeMartini models have a skinnier/ smaller feeling neck than my Charvel Pro Mods. They all felt similar to the Adrian Smith Jackson models. However, when I was at the high-end guitar shops (Matt's Music and King Guitar) I played a few Suhr Pro M's which were great feeling guitars. I'm pretty tempted by this one Suhr Pro M (with EMG's) that Brad had, but its missing the SS frets which I kind of wanted. When I played the Broderick, the fret ends weren't perfect as compared to the Suhrs which were. The Broderick sounds fantastic and has cool recessed controls, but the 24 fret fingerboard without the compound radius kind of screws me up. My budget has also shrunk a little bit (I need to eat). In order, the guitars I'm looking at now are-

1) Suhr Pro M
2) Jackson Broderick soloist
3)Jackson PC1

Now I'm trying to find which Suhr neck is the closest in shape to my Charvel Pro Mods. I'm trying to decide between the Slim C, extra Slim C, and Modern Elliptical. Does anyone have a clue as to which neck would be similar to a pro mod?
