Is this an "upgrade" guitar or a "similar guitar to what I already have but for a specific purpose" guitar?
Veritech Zero

Man... Soooo many options fall under those specifications... What shape are you looking for? Color? particular brands you like/want something similar to? you can really nitpick with that budget, and most 7s are 26.5-27" scale anyways. Personally after having played a few I would go with a Schecter Banshee or KM-7. I know they are both at the upper end of your budget, but they would be my first choices.

^^^^ Banshee, KM7, or SLS c-7. Sound like a schecter fanboy but I have been impressed by all of those.
Not necessarily a similar guitar but definitely for a specific purpose and project. I was eyeing the Carvin DC700. Thoughts?
I own 2 JP's and consider to be my 2 favorite guitars in the world due to the wonderful neck shape and playability. Id like to get something similar in that regard instead of another JP

"TWAT" for short
KM-7 or LTD SC-607B/SCT-607B
I'd say check out the KM-7. Also, OT but would that tuning be for use with ATWW?
Maybe
. As of right now its for another project 
schechter km7, banshee, and ibanez rgd.
Ive heard a lot of quality complains about the RGD. Any RGD owners wanna chime in?
Check out the Carvin DC7x, amazing quality and 27" scale for a bit more clarity for the low note.
How are the necks on those? Im a JP/Ibanez guy so I'm hoping i can get a really thin neck.
----Carvin all the way ! I was seriously considering getting one despite import tax + shipping, where it would cost almost 150% of the original priceIf you call in to order they do have a thin neck option which is just a little thinner than their normal neck. It is a thin c shape, and still a little thicker than the thinner Ibanez wizard-ii necks but not by much.

I would also like to hear these RGD owners chime in.
What complaints have you heard? The only real complaint I have heard is about the finish on them. I really want a RGD Prestige myself.
I'm also surprised no one seems to mention Agile anymore. Has the Agile hype died down now??? Agile Septor or Interceptor may be a good option for you.
I don't think so, When someones budget hits 1,000ish or any level above that and their desired specs fit what Carvin offers, There is no better guitar for the money than a Carvin.
If their budget is firmly less than 900 and given that Agile offers some specs Carvin does not like longer scales, multi-scales, and 9 and 10 strings, which may be desired, then get an Agile.
