Default Short scale Composite guitars?

Anybody know of any? I looked at the Rainsong site, and they're all 25.4. I'd like to get a composite guitar for around the house/throw in the trunk and not worry guitar. I've really taken to the Gibson shorter scale. I've played a CA Cargo--neat guitar, but I'd really like a 24.75 or so scale, preferably with a 1 11/16 or so nut.

The Emerald X7 is the closest fit I'm aware of. 24" scale, 1-3/4" nut.

Oops, forgot about the Blackbird Rider. 24.5" scale, 1-3/4" nut.

Yep, those two are the only ones I can think of as well. I would love to see something like a Rainsong 12-fret with short scale and maybe even a slot head. Wonder how many we would have to order to make that happen?

i'm thinking the emerald would be good - the blackbird rider is an awesome sounding guitar but he wants 1 11/16", and the rider's neck is bigger around than a seagull s6.
