Fortunately I've made some recent improvements and have a little more income to work with now. I still like playing a Strat, but I'd like more frets to work with. Too often while playing classic rock solos, I'll have to play certain parts an octave lower because there aren't enough frets.

Although I have a little money to play with now, I don't want to spend too much. Which electric guitar(s) would you recommend to someone like me?

More frets are on heavy metal guitars, Ibanez, Jackson......
