Please tell me which model I am describing....

[Shuggie92]

This is not a quiz, I am trying to identify the model(s) with the following specs. (I've only ever had CU22's, no experience with other models)

Here goes - Is there a model with these specs?
•Singlecut (switch like a LP)
•4 vol/tone knobs
•Thinner/lighter body, maybe like a Custom
•Pattern neck (or Fat/wide)
•Tune-O-Matic bridge (Def don't want the wraparound with fixed intonation)
•25" scale or maybe 24.75" (Not sure, I like my PRS's and my LP)

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

S2 McCarty 594 Singlecut is as close as you're gonna get, except for the thinner/lighter part.

 

[Greywolf]

a 594 SC is about as close as I've seen, there is a s2 thinline but not in the sc

 

[Zoot Allures]

What they said ^.

 

[AP515]

Yep, I think the S2 is thinner than the core 594 but I may be wrong. Either way, that's your baby.

 

[d^rren]

There are some older SC245 and McCarty 594 singlecuts, but again, not going to be terribly thin or light, though you might be able to find lighter examples.

Due to the scale, I’d say a Tremonti. But those normally have a trem. There other possibilities. Maybe an SC58, or Stripped 58.

 

[Shuggie92]

Thanks you guys, appreciate the help! I forgot to add that I don't really want a bound neck, which seems to rule out those 594's. I think RickP might be right, a Stripped 58. I don't mind having a trem, but I think the Tremonti has a thinner neck.

If I can refine it a tad I'd say the dealbreakers are:
•LP configuration (2 vol/2 tone)
•Pattern/or WideFat neck, no binding

All other options, I am open to. Any others fit this scheme besides maybe the Stripped 58?

SC250 swap the bridge for a PRS or Mann Made.
Stripped SC58
or mod an SCT to be a 4 knob layout

You are going to have to get a little more specific. You can get 2 Vol/2 Tone, without binding, but not exactly like the LP. The 4 control on the SC's have the diamond that leans in the opposite direction which makes the Vol and Tone for the bridge be forward and back instead of up and down. So you can get W/F, no binding, and 4 controls, but not the exact LP layout. Here's a photo of what I call the "forward diamond".

Here's the LP Layout

Personally I like the PRS diamond better.

 

[Shuggie92]

Ah, yeah I just mean 2 vol/2 tone. The PRS diamond would be fine.

Initially, I was not into neck binding.
Now I'm a 594 junkie with 4 of them.
Things change when you get up in the morning (tm)...

I still like no binding better. You can't improve on perfection by covering it up with plastic...

All good. No single thing is good for all.
I just gravitated to the scale and feel so basically had to get over the binding thing.
Besides... it's all your fault for telling me I needed a P90 guitar!

When I play my LP, I'm all sorts of outta whack.

Yep, it takes me a good while to get used to the LP again. I cut my teeth on the PRS so the LP layout is the foreign one to me. For most it's the other way around.

Same.

I cut my teeth on the 1978 Peavey T-60 path so they're ALL foreign to me... (Still have the T-60).
