I just bought an Ibanez Iceman IC500 in black at Guitar Center for $699. It comes with DiMarzio pickups and sounds awesome. 24 jumbo frets, playability is awesome.
But one thing to look out for is that it has a bit of neck dive. I didn't notice this in the store of course because they don't have straps on their guitars and I sat on a stool. I never thought to even check it for neck dive. But it wouldn't be difficult to simply move the peg/screw up closer to the neck which would solve it.
But overall, this guitar is way sexy! I knew I made the right choice when everyone working at Guitar Center was sad to see it leave lol. Here's a link to the image:
