I was looking at the schecters for around this price point but I read some infor that said, I might be able to get more for my money by checking other brands, such as ESP, Ibanez...etc.
I basically like the strat body types for the new guitar....

So, all you guitar collectors, what guitars would you suggest I check out?
I am looking to keep the price around $750.

Look at used guitars and you'll get much more for your money. You may get a $1,200 guitar for $700.

Looks like Sam Ash Direct is still running their insane 2012-model Gibson blowout deal.

If I had $750 to drop on a guitar, I would normally go used. But some of those prices they've had on SA are actually better than used. Hell, even the 2012 SG Standards are listed at $799 right now, with free shipping.

I'd check craigslist and see what they've got.... The holidays are usually a good time to buy because people are needing money. With that amount I'd look for an Sg standard or an ESP (not ltd) eclipse

+1 to Craigslist. I've seen so many awesome deals that make me hate myself for being broke all of the time.

$500 Jackson SLSMG
$550 G&L S-500
$200 MIM Strats
$250 Dot Deluxes...

The list goes on.

I think Charvel San Dimas or So Cal is the best choice for your criteria and price range. I think you can even get a new one with 700 dollars, with hardshell case included.

That's a good recommendation as well.

Agreed. Those are really nice.

If he's going for a super Strat that's probably his best bet.

Otherwise, I'd be throwing my debit card at Sam ash right now.

I need to push my dean deceiver fmf. Comes stock with emg 81/85, original Floyd, great value. More stable/consistent than any of my gibsons. Bought mine new as a "2nd" for $700.

Charvel Production series, Japanesse (SoCal Type 1, San Dimas, etc).
Unbeatable for their price.
Everything inside is of quality, including electronics components, OFR and pickups.
 
Re: Any suggestions for a NGD around $750?

In the absence of any stylistic clues from the OP, I am going to suggest a PRS SE Soapbar and a pair of American-made replacement pickups.
 
Re: Any suggestions for a NGD around $750?

That's also a very good suggestion. Oooooooooooooo........soapbars. In cream, of course.

In that line, my vote is for that new PRS SE 245, with same scale and controls as an LP.
Starting at $620, more or less.

That's a great deal on the Les Paul Studios but I live In Canada so the importing and shipping would bring the price back up.
