My price range is around $850 AUD ~ $640 USD. Im looking for something like a PRS or Brian Moore, possibly with stock pickups with either a standard trem or a floyd rose style. Basically a slightly rounder than usual strat shape with a flamed top that cleans up nicely and has a good distortion crunch.
What should i look out for?

if its metal go for any jackson, theyve got the best necks

its not really the look im after, they dont make jacksons with flamed tops and gold hardward do they?

gold? maybe not, and they have a DX10D and i THINK it has a sunburst finish

i forgot to mention im looking in the second hand market, anything up to 25 years old.

well it's not a flame top...only black...but it does have a rounder strat shape and a floyd and is in your price range and a killer guitar...

ive never played but i have looked at it a couple times, beautiful guitar

that scheter is about $1500 AUD... a little above my price range but ill look out for one second hand, looks awesome

If you like hardtails, I'd look into a newer Yamaha AES series guitar. I beleive tehir midline instruments come stock with a JB at the bridge. FOr the price, Yamaha makes a great guitar with EXCELLENT fretwork.

EDIT:
Darn, didn't read the part about the strat shaped body until after I posted. I'd still look at the Yamahas though. They did a great job of giving the Les Paul a modern twist with the new AES series.

i thought you said $640US? the schecter is like $500-600 i think.
