I like and own:
  • A 660 series Rickenbacker. 1.75" nut width.
  • The Gretsch '59 Gent reissue
(G6122T-59). It has a 1.75" nut width, 25.5" scale, small frets and flat radius.

1.75" nut widths on electrics are rare but a warmoth, USACG bolt on partscaster could be a great project.
I have built 3. One came out amazing. It has a 1" maple neck with a wider 1.725" nut.
Beware partscasters can be a money pit, looking resale..
Although you can circumvent that with buying other, loaded bodies.
Then order a $300 plus, custom neck.
It can be really nice to spec in your own feel.
