ES-175 type with fretboard radius less than 10"

I like a P-90 and cutaway on an ES-175, but I struggle with 12" radius fretboards.
Any suggestions for an ES-175 type with a lone pickup near the neck and a fretboard radius of 10" or less?

Well...as a first option, get used to radius 12, which is simple and only takes 1 or 2 weeks...
..as a second option, look for a good luthier and have a guitar made to your specifications.:sorriso-novo:

As radius gets smaller curvature gets larger.
