Does any one know of a production electric with a flat radius fretboard? I've played a nylon string classical with one. I'm interested in trying an electric.
Electric with a flat radius fretboard?

The fretboard on some of those Ibanez guitars might as well be flat.....feels flat to me!

You'll have a hard time finding a flat fingerboard, but you also don't really want one. I know, I know, you are used to it and all that, but the thing is that an electric is a very different thing. Steel strings, such as on an electric, take more and different kinds of pressure to fret, so you will find that a classical style neck (flat and wide) is very uncomfortable.
Now, all that being said, you will probably want a wider and flater fingerboard than most electric players. Try to find something with a 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 inch nut, and a 20 inch radius. ESP, Jackson, Ibanez, and other similar companies will all have many guitars with necks along those lines.
