Hey guys, first off, a bit of backstory - I bought an Ibanez ATK600 a couple months back, basically an LP copy, and have decided that I need to get something different. It's a great guitar, sounds good unplugged and through any amp, but the feel is just not quite comfortable for me compared to my Schecter. I think part of it is the medium frets (Schecter has Jumbo), set neck, and comparative lack of fret access.
I was scouring the web and local stores for something when a Reverend Warhawk 390 caught my eye: 3x P90's, a Les Trem, one vol/tone and a Bass Contour Control. I've heard awesome things about Reverends so I made arrangements to have it picked up tomorrow night, but alas! The guitar sold this morning and so my dream was shattered.
Now, I am turning to you all in the hopes that you can point me in the direction of something similar. Key features that I think I want on an axe to replace this Ibanez are:
P90s - two or three, it doesn't matter. I just know I want them.
Scale - ideally 25.5" but if I play another short scale guitar and it feels right, I'll get it. Considering the PRS scale (25") as well.
Neck - shape is something I don't know too much about. I have bigger hands, so radius is key = 12" is comfy, 9.5" is on the small side.
Frets - bigger than medium. That's it.
Trem - other than my Strat I don't have another guitar with a tremolo, and I'd like to. Again, could deal without it.
Woods - I now have two mahogany/maple guitars with rosewood boards. So variety is preferred, but not necessary.
I don't know if I've forgotten anything but hopefully this isn't *too* specific to block out a few choices I might like. I trust you can steer me in the right direction!
Thanks in advance
