i have been playing a classical for a while now to learn basics and note reading. i am switching to an electric but neck is 1/2" narrower at the nut
classical is 52 mm, electric is 42 mm. what can i buy that has a wide neck
500 to 700 range, thinking PRS se 24, semi hollow, love the sound, but Ibanez has a neck like silk !!!

A Gibson Les Paul Custom always struck as a neck fitting more of a classical guitar feel. For me anyway...I got stubby fingers. Also, depends on your budget.

You could do this: :eek:

Les Paul Custom's pretty spendy new so that might be out of range even for one not vintage.

I think the PRS is a pretty good choice, I have the opposite issue in that I prefer a more narrow neck (stupid tiny fingers...). Otherside, maybe a Les Paul Studio. Good guitar. Decent price (I think Musicians Friend has a model as low as $850 right now).

That said, I think you've got a pretty good choice with the PRS too. Quite a lot of guitar for under $700.
