Which other 24-fret superstrats hold up to the fretwork, playability, and quality of a Suhr Modern?

Andy Eagle said:
Putting string tension on a neck causes it to flex and the truss rod doesn’t necessarily counter it precisely. The neck always flexes most at the weakest point and that means that is the lowest point in the relief curve. But this is often not the most desirable position for this and the curve is not linear. Wood choice and neck joint design affects this but each individual piece of wood has its own unique effect. By choosing quarter sawn you are able to reduce the unpredictable nature of wood but just any old piece is leaning heavily on the design to control it.
If you have ever seen a guitar that just doesn’t buzz and plays perfectly even when set up with a low action or the opposite. A guitar that has perfectly level frets and everything you can measure with anything other than Plek is perfect but it tends to buzz all over the upper register more easily than it should. This is the effect and understanding what is going on will help you design ways to improve the randomness of wood. Take a look at the design details of the products I cited above that all redesigned their necks to try to counter this effect.

And I think this is where we agree that Aristides really win out @Andy Eagle? Their necks seem entirely predictable as a result.

Which specific model is that top one?
Are there other 3 pickup versions you think are also as good?
Would any of these make sense to buy today?

Yes but they are rare . On reverb the cheapest GL is $6.5K and a hardtail for $10k
GL4T is HSS and trans trem GL3 is SSS and GL7 is HSH.
S for standard trem TT for trans trem.
