I know I will get hassled for this because I am a Kramer Man, but if you are looking for a wicked guitar that is very versitale, check out the Peavey Wolfgang Special EXP. They are built overseas but they are made to the exact specifications as the expensive wolfys. Of course they are still between 5-700 dollars new, but I have seen some on ebay for 250-350 dollars. They make a fixed bridge model, and a floyd rose model depending on your taste. Check them out on the peavey website.
Of course if you want an awesome guitar cheap, check out the Kramer telecaster models and a few of the other models on http://www.musicyo.com
