Anyone know what guitar brands have 10 inch radius fingerboards?

[Dave Locher]

This came up on another thread but I didn't want to totally hijack so I'm just starting another thread.

I really like guitars with a 24.75" scale and a 10-inch fretboard radius, but I have no idea which guitars from the past may have had them?
I do know that a fair number of 1950s and '60s Gibson electrics left the factory with a 10" radius (per Dan Erlwine, regardless of what Gibson may have said), but the prices for those are not in the range I am willing to pay for a guitar.

When I am fishing through Craigslist, eBay, and the Guitar Center used gear are there any particular brands or models I should look for that would be under a grand used, preferably under $500?
(I am asking because this past week I walked into a local music store and found a guitar I thought I wanted for only $350 but when I picked it up I hated the neck. Hated it. Googled it when I got home and turns out they have a 14" fingerboard. If I had seen that guitar online I probably would have bought it and now I would be stuck with a beautiful guitar I hate.)

PRS, with the exception of Santana models.

Put a custom Warmoth neck on a Squier or Epi. That'll for sure be under $1000 and you can make it however you want.

PRS is the only one that comes to mind. There isn't really much difference between a 10" radius and Fender's 9.5".

some Keisel/Carvin guitars are ordered with 10
MIM standard strats after 2010 are 9.5

I just sold my MIM Standard because I never could bond with the smaller radius

I prefer the 12 or greater myself

That reminds me I wanna get a set of those radius gauges from Stew-Mac.

Really, PRS? I had no idea. Guess I will have to try one.

I know Fender makes a lot of 9.5 and my hands would probably love it but I am definitely a 24.75, tuneomatic or wraparound, humbucker kind of guy. I can compromise on one of those things ngs but not two or all three.

What about any odd brands from the 1970s or 1980s?

Charvel Fusions were short scale, and I think they had a 10"-12" radius..
I think the Kramer NightSwan was the same, as well as the Kramer ProAxe. Im not too sure on the radius of the Buddy Blaze Shredder model, but its a short scale as well.
You'll find alot of floyd guitars have a 10" radius (sometimes 9.5" too)
