Members SUV Steve Posted July 24, 2009 Members Share Posted July 24, 2009 I guess this is the flip side to turtlechaser's thread... who can recommend an off-the-shelf guitar with the following attributes? Alder or ash bodyBolt-on maple neck24.75 scale12" fretboard radius1 11/16 nut width2 1/16 spread at bridgeMedium or M/J fretsprefer maple boardprefer single coil pup's Something along the lines of a MIJ JD Tele but with the Gibson spacing would be about perfect.

Members SUV Steve Posted July 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm thinking that may be the only way. Hopefully their standard contour is not too wide near the heel... I can play either a '59 or 60's Gibson neck easily, so depth isn't so much the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if Warmoth would. or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kojdogg Posted July 25, 2009 Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 Not sure of the specs relative to what you're looking for (other than 25" scale and set neck), but the PRS SE EG's look the part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SUV Steve Posted July 27, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 27, 2009 Lot of ideas here that are close, thanks guys. Sounds like Warmoth/USACG might be the closest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DavidMgT Posted July 27, 2009 Members Share Posted July 27, 2009 G&L ASAT Special or Deluxe - both are better built than most Gibsons and Fenders. The Deluxe in particular, with its mahogany, humbuckers and Maple top is like a Les Paul with a bit more clarity and bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sk8centilli Posted July 27, 2009 Members Share Posted July 27, 2009 The Cyclone is pretty close: Alder or ash body - depends on what site you read Bolt-on maple neck - yup 24.75 scale - yup 12" fretboard radius - pretty sure 1 11/16 nut width - don't remember 2 1/16 spread at bridge - never ever measured spread on any guitar, ever Medium or M/J frets - yup prefer maple board - obviously not prefer single coil pup's - Fender USA Jaguar pups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
