Manufacturers who use a 12" Radius Fretboard?
I've discovered that I have a strong preference for a 12" radius on a guitar's fretboard.
When I go from a flatter board (like on my Martins or my Simon & Patrick) to one with a 12" radius (like on my old Harmony or Gibson), I can instantly feel the difference, and I find the playability on the 12" fretboard to be substantially better all other things being equal. So, I'm hoping to put together a list of manufacturers who us a 12" fretboard on their acoustic guitars. The ones I'm aware of are: Gibson, Eastman, Takamine, Ibanez, and the Chicago built Vintage Harmony guitars. What other manufacturers' acoustics have a 12" board?

Martin allows for 12" radius on their custom shop models.
