    I’m thinking that these specs might be perfect for me, all of my other guitars are 16” and I like the 17x3 size, but I’d also like a single set in pickup and a 24.75” scale. Looking for a very electric sounding guitar

    what are some models I should be looking at?

    Peerless Monarch. 17x3", 24.75 scale, and you can get it with set in pickup.

    Solid wood, formed not carved. I have the same guitar with the floater, kinda wish I'd gotten what you want. Mine was not exorbitantly priced at all and I've never once had to do anything to the set up. Fret work was perfect, looks stunning, plays well, sounds great.

    Depends on your budget, but Stephan Holst can custom make one for around $3.5k. There a re a bunch in the longer scale, but not as many 17"×3" laminate 24&3/4" scale.

    Stephen Holst only does laminates up to 16" (I inquired about this matter some time ago). To get a 17" from Stephen, it would have to be carved and would cost around $5000.

    These specs sound absolutely beautiful. I feel like 17"x3" is so perfect. I bet the inset humbucker would sound lovely too. I have a thinline with a bridge and a neck pickup, and I find that I don't even use the bridge pickup. Ever. Lolol. But man, a 17"x3" one inset neck would be lovely.

    in foresight unbeknownst to me I had Victor Baker make me a 17"/2,5" lam-top guitar some 9 years ago - couldn't afford one now that his prices have gone up considerably. I'd look at the Sadowsky l-17 (?) that Russell Malone plays, Chuck Loeb did also, RIP ....

    Good call -- great Southern California builder! I visited his shop once and played about six different guitars -- what a blast! Nice guy, too.

    If It could handle 17, It would hace to be a Guild X.

    One pickup examples exist.

    Various one-pickup 17" old Guilds are out there. Or you could go with a Guild X-150.
    Not quite what you want, but this one is close, I think.
    Guild X150 Savoy Cutaway Archtop Sunburst, 1961 | www.12fret.com

    Or a new one. Just get a full-sized humbucker installed in the top.

    I don't want to open a can of worns and I prefer one pickup guitars for jazz. But If searching for 17x3 I would want the BEST sounding guitar.
    Neck, ergonomy , sound etc you never know
