Default Pls suggest a guitar with these spec's

I've always had an electric. I am trying to find an electric, now, with very particular specs and can't really find one.

Must haves
Short scale (about 24-3/4" or 24-7/8")
Wide nut (1-3/4")
Small frets (not medium jumbos!)
Humbuckers (at least one)
Straighter string pull (non les paul style)
No string trees (angled back headstock)


Nice to haves
Tapered headstock (flying V style?)
Solid body (or very thin if semi-hollow)



I can see it in my head and I'm half tempted to custom order neck, body, electronics and build my own

I'm not sure about the other specs, but that 1-3/4" nut width is going make your search difficult. Offhand, the only ones I can think of are some of the Eastman guitars. The Godin 5th Avenue comes close at 1.72". Good luck!

Consider a 650 series Rickenbacker. Qualifies on all counts except for your headstock requirements. Mine's a 650D, no longer available, but the 650C is still current, and there's a steady trade in used examples.

Just found a couple at Rondo music - Agile "Wide" (Les Paul clone) for $399 and $499. BUT it has jumbo frets.

There's a Fret King in the AGF classifieds now that meets your criteria, EXCEPT it's got medium jumbo frets. FKs are very nice guitars, made in SK.

I agree Fret-King guitars are really some of the nicest Korean made guitars out there.
