I'm really surprised that its tough to find a superstrat with a hard tail and 2 humbuckers. I would love a roasted maple neck too and was hoping Charvel would come out with a ht with a 22 fret neck. They released the 22 fret RM neck with the three pickups and terrible finish options last year. Dean, ESP, Jackson, Schecter, Charvel, etc, all seem to all be putting out new guitars with 24 frets. Do that may people prefer 24 fret necks? Just curious. If anyone has something similar for sale please let me know. I'm leaning towards building another Warmoth trying Musikraft this time. Thanks.
 
Charvel has done several Wildcards like that and there the Tele body versions with hardtails and 2 HB's..

I prefer a strat/superstrat shape. I like the tele shape, but only on a real tele. I just checked Reverb and there is one Charvel ht/22 fret guitar that will ship, and I'm not crazy about it.

Charvel San Dimas HT has 22 frets, I believe.
 
I bought this in 2016 , I added the pickup rings to make height adjustments

It's pricey, but take a look at the Charvel Jake E Lee model

Looks nice! You don't see many of these on the used market. My 2018 Charvel is similar to this but it has ash unfinished body. Here is my Warmoth that a friend put together in 09. I'd love to build almost the same one with a hard tail with a mahogany body. This one is northern ash. This guitar cost about $1300 to build back then. I would put it up against any Charvel custom shop guitar.
