It's neck-through, so the sustain is awesome. It also comes with EMGs (the real ones, not the cheap Hz series). Action is great, and it's a fixed bridge. I'm tired of that Floyd Rose bullshit.
I guess it will probably run you $800-1000, but it's worth every penny.

Ha, $800-$1000 is actually the exact range that I've been looking in. Maaaaybe $1200 if there's something I really really like. For my big birthday, my entire family pitched in to get me a gift certificate to Guitar Center so I could buy a new guitar since I've never purchased a new one since I first started learning to play guitar about 15 years ago on that old Samick fender-knockoff I have. I'll probably spend a little extra of my own cash on top of it so I can get the exact one I want but I'm having trouble narrowing it down.
The Ibanez RGT6EXFX is one of the ones I've been strongly considering:
It has a fixed bridge too and comes with EMGs, though I'm not sure if there's any difference between them and the ones you're talking about. Maybe you can take a look at it. 24 frets and good action are both "must-have" features for me too.
I can't really try ESP guitars because the only ones GC carries are like 4000-9000 bucks! o.O I used to like Washburn guitars a lot too, but I couldn't even find any on Guitar Center's site so it doesn't look like they carry that brand.

The same could easily be said about Ibanez guitars, heh.
