You could do the Washburn N24. It's a reissue of the N3.

I don't remember if it has 22/24 frets though.

You can pick up a used ESP MII in great condition for about that range. Super strat that plays really great. Assuming you don't need a fancy top.

The Ernie Ball stuff is comparable.

I'm sure you already know, but just in case. Heard good things about the Suhr Rasmus guitars, which came in a 24-fret model.

I think you can only get them used now.

Switchback looks interesting but how can those guitars be priced that low with him doing his own neck work and frets?

I too would look around for an old ESP

I cant remember which model, maybe the c66? Looks like a dang anderson. And they have nice looking tops

Try Carvin, just change out the pickups. Sorry, don't like carvin pickups much....

Warmoth.

Been to the shop a few times because i am a long time friend of Mike. Trust me. Mike is building some really nice stuff! Put it to you this way... I own a Suhr that retails at almost 6 grand. I love it dearly. However my next guitar will be a Switchback

Yep Carvin kicks ass!!

PRS SE Custom 24 is a "decent" guitar in the lower end of that budget range, but if you can stretch a couple hundred more than your max, I'd look at the PRS S2 line

I have 2 Suhr moderns & 3 Carvins.

My Suhrs are amazing guitars, but the Carvins are just as good in every single aspect.

The only difference is that Carvin's cost about 1/2 the price.

I like everything about the Carvins except the neck profile. I really dig the big chunky necks you can order on Anderson's and Suhrs. G&Ls are okay but I've had QC issues with them in the past.
