Does it exist?

1

Thinline,

True hollowbody (with bracing),

~15" (lower bout),

single cutaway - NOT florentine

single coil pickups (either p90s or magnet pole piece pickups)

The closest things i'm finding is a gibson es-125 - but that's got the florentine cutaway... and the martin f-55 (which just looks a little odd to me)

outside of those two, does such an animal exist in the world ? Harmony? Kay?

i like this rocket :

but did it come in a more tobacco sunburst ?

man i do like that clipper - was there ever a two pickup version ?

1970s Clipper, but Clippers are 16".

If you want 15" there are some Kays, a National or two, and the Rickenbacker 360F (and 330F) I think.

I have a 1960 Clipper that I am rebuilding...she is in the shop right now...new truss rod, re fret...set up etc...but even before the rebuild..refinish...I loved that guitar...mine is a single pup...neck pup...but I believe they added a pup in the 70's?

I take it back, those Rickenbacker 360F and 330F look really big now that I've seen pics again, they must be at least 16". I had them confused with the double cuts that are 15".

But National Debonaire and probably most Kay models are less than 16".

Clippers are inexpensive enough that adding a second pickup shouldn't affect the value much and should be easy to do.

The Rambler would fit your criteria except that it's 13 inches & a 23 inch scale. You can add a second pickup to those too.

The PRS Hollow Body would work too except it's $3000 and has hum buckers.
