9.5 / 10" radius guitars

[EddieVN]

Can anyone name some guitars that meet the following criteria:

9.5 or 10” fingerboard radius
22 or 24 fret
HH or HSH
Sub-£1k
Not a Fender (I love Fenders and have several but want to expand my horizons brand-wise…)

PRS SE or S2

Yes, I think PRS is probably the front runner at the moment. Never been a massive fan of their overall look, but there doesn't seem to be an awful lot out there that fits my brief.

I had a look on the Kiesel site and it looks like all their current 6 string models have 14" boards

Check out the satin S2 models. They're more utilitarian versions of the regular PRS line. I have an S2 Standard 22, stupid nice guitar for the money. It sounds, plays, and is built better than my real '62 Les Paul.

I thought PRS had a flatter fingerboard...12-14"?

The ones I've played felt flatter than a Gibson which is 12". Maybe it's just because of the width?

Aside from a few outliers, they're all 10". Definitely feel like their own thing, though. My Custom 24 has the wide/thin, and my Standard 22 has a Pattern Regular, which is much chunkier, doesn't feel as flat, but they're both 10".

The Santana has something like 11.5 or 11.75" and the Holcomb is 20", but the rest of the SE line is 10" all throughout.

The fretboard on my SE feels a lot rounder than my LTD which is 13.75" for sure.

I believe the Music Man Silhouette does, as well as a bunch more models.

My first thought was PRS S2 series guitars.

If you want to "expand your horizons" why don't you want to expand your fretboard radius horizons as well? There are a LOT of great guitars that aren't 9.5 or 10" radius...

Most EBMMs are 10" radius, but also mostly over your budget, even used.

So... Sterling by Music Man?

Sterling is a good idea, or even cheaper, look at the older OLP models.
