The old Standard model is a good bet (I think the new ones are back to this spec too) - smaller headstock, vintage tuners, lovely medium neck profile. Specials tend to have fat necks which hurts, and CS reissue stuff usually has the "worse" neck joint (more flappy neck and more prone to dive) plus bigger headstocks.
The only one of those I'm familiar with is the Mira, of which I've owned many... They're still slightly neck-heavy, but much less so than an SG.
I believe the Guild and ESP are both a bit thicker in the body, which helps counteract neck-heaviness, and the slightly different body shapes may balance differently in any case.
This is not to say that anyone should use the confounded contraption. Just that, by an amazing coincidence, it is exactly the right weight to solve neck dive.

The standard 61’s are regularly discounted to the same price as the ‘modern’ standards.
So, that might be the best £1 I've spent for a long time!
