I have a '92 Charvel Fusion Deluxe,and I'll never get rid of it.24 frets on a maple neck,Jackson pickups,Floyd Rose locking trem.It's sweet if you've got small fingers since the neck is rather slim.the body is a little beat,but the neck is straight as an arrow,and the action is incredibly low with no buzz,making it extremely easy to play.I'd recommend a Charvel,but are getting rare.I've been eyeballing a Gibson Studio at my local shop though...Whatever brand you get however,make sure the neck is straight and true,and have the shop 'set it up' for you(raising/lowering the action,checking/adjusting intonation,that type of thing.
