Heya,
I recently bought one of the new Ibanez RGD2127z's. It was a very nice guitar and all, loved the sound, playability, extended scale length, thin fretboard. But the there were two problems with it, one being that the floyd rose (Edge pro zero) was not up to scratch (sloppy, stiff, inaccurate...), especially for a £1020 guitar. Also the the guitars neck, even when I fully un-tensioned it, so much so that the bolt that you turn started coming off, was basically the neck was contently too flat even though I was using a tuning (drop g sharp) that was of an overall higher tension than the standard (a standard). I know that the problem with the neck was just a one off but I decided to sent it back to Gak and get a refund.
Anyway I was wondering whether anybody could think of any good luthiers or manufacturers who could give me a similar guitar, that is with a thin neck, 26.5"-27" scale length, Superstrat style body and 7 strings obviously
, but what I also want I a decent floyd rose. This is all considering that I live near Norwich, in Norfolk, in England. And also that I am willing to pay a reasonable amount but I'm not wanting a £2000+ guitar with a 2 year production time 
.
Any Ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ever so much.

If you'd like me to help you assemble the whole thing, we can work that out as well. That would also make going to Ernie Taylor for the neck a breeze, because I'm going to be placing an order with him as well. I think it's pretty hard to find a XL neck anyways, so Ernie might be your best bet. If you want, shoot me a PM and we can discuss this further.
