You might want to check out Kamer's Assault, it's a Les Paul style sometimes with a maple fingerboard:

I agree with George. It took me many years and many guitars to realize that my small hands actually prefer the 25.5 scale. A Jazzmaster with a slender neck did the trick for me.

My experience with shortscales was similar. I had a lot of trouble squeezing my fingers into certain positions.

All along, I incorrectly assumed that my trouble with certain guitars was due to scale length, when really neck shape was the issue.

When in doubt, 24.75 is a very safe scale. +1 Les Poole.
