wide neck electrics
I have learned that I like acoustic necks with 1 3/4 nut width.
Does anyone make electrics with that neck width? |

Roy McAlister is now making electrics with that width @ the nut.

I believe Eastman and Loar make electric archtops with the wider nut width. I'm not sure whether an archtop is what you're looking for, though.

Agile Guitars from Rondo Music can be ordered with a wider nut.

+1 for Agile. Not sure of your budget or style, but the have a Les Paul style guitar, the AL-3200, that has a wide neck for around $600. Just bought one with a slim neck, and the guitar is solid (heavy, about 10 lbs.), and sounds great. Needed the action adjusted due to buzzing on the first fret, and I decided to change the pickups, although it really isn't necessary as the stock pickups sound good. I just had a specific sound I wanted, so I bought custom pickups from Porter Pickups. When all is said and done, I will have the equivalent of a $2500 or more Les Paul for about $1000.
Hope that helps!
