What's the general opinion on charvel, ltd and Jackson pro series?

[man-in-moon]

I am about to order a new guitar from sweetwater. The big issue is I can not play any of the 3 models I am looking at. None of the shops here carry them really. I am looking at a charvel san dimas pro mod, A ltd m-1000se and a Jackson DK2QM. Spec wise they are all similar and are what I am looking for. All maple neck locking trem 25.5 scale and all 3 have the same Duncan jb/59 combo.
Would one brand be better than the other or are they pretty much equal? I do not have much experience with either of the brands. Besides a Jackson import RR model about 7 years back lol.

Pro-Mod out of the three w/o question; IMHO the better overall guitar look, feel and playability wise.

The Pro Mod has 22 frets, the others have 24.

Definitely the Pro Mod

I'll have to play all 3 to see which sounds best.

I've played the Mexican Jackson and the Mexican Charvel in a nearby music store, though. There's not that much of a difference. I'd go with the Jackson because I'm used to its controls, though.

Another vote for the pro mod

I think the charvel is the winner. I would really like to get another Wolfgang special but they are out of stock everywhere.
