I play a Fender strat with a mini-humbucker in the neck and bridge positions. I also have a Les Paul 1960 reissue. I find that between these two guitars I have all the tones I need.
The Schecters are good guitars, I used to have a couple but they were just making the sounds of the Fender or Gibson so I got rid of them.
I also have an Epiphone Sheraton but it basically sounds like a noisy Les Paul.
When I check out a new guitar, I like to play it without an amp at first. If it sustains well then I plug it up. This practice hasnt failed me yet. Good Luck it sounds like you already know what you want so get whatever feels good.
