Best guitars under 2K for drop C

I need everyone’s help with some gear! I guess you can say my music sounds like if Breaking Benjamin and Deftones had a pissed off baby. I play in drop C of course and drop A# which I will use a drop pedal to get to from drop C. I’m not picky on pick ups when it comes to active or passive but if possible, I would like something I could put a pair of those new. Nazgûl rail pickups in (if they’ll fit) if not, it’s all good at this point I just need to find something that has no fret buzz whatsoever. I always take my guitar to a great Luther it’s always PLEKd etc. But it seems like it’s impossible these days to find a decent guitar under that amount with SS frets and a graph tech nut and decent hard tail bridge. I’ve never had an ever tune, but I’m open to that as well It has to be ordered through guitar center and unfortunately unless you get lucky and it’s some sort of older Ibanez it’s not gonna come in the case. And if it’s a Jackson will come in a gig bag more than likely. I’m not really a fender guy and honestly LTD has went downhill. I’m not trying to pay $1700 for a guitar with no stainless steel frets and a plastic nut. I was checking out this guitar so if anyone’ any info or advice, please send it my way I don’t care the brand just as long as guitar center carries it. It seems like guitars are getting cheaply made more and more these days. If I had another $500 to work with, I would probably get the Jackson, american series MG but I don’t... These are the two I was thinking so far

The other one I was considering is in comment
