Yeah, partscasters can be great! And an awesome way to get into that middle-ground between MIM and MIA / boutique stuff, price-wise.
Guitar. Effects. Love. Fuzz.

I played one of these today—it was actually very impressive. Built really well, set up nicely, pickups had a really nice clarity but plenty of beef. Only played it on clean to mildly dirty amp settings, so can't say I've heard the whole range of tones, but it was quite cool, especially for the price.

I would have to second the ESP rec, I have (too many) MIJ ESPs and they indeed shit on stuff. Insane attention to detail and QC. I picked up a second hand Les Paul type custom shop that SLAYED an old buddies Gibson Jimmy Page for what worked out at a 3rd of the price. If you're fine with shopping online you could look on the Ishibashi Ubox site (massive Japanese chain store) where they sell second hand gear. They even do 'normal' looking stuff like this chap (my guitar but not my pic):
