Default Does this travel guitar even exist?

I travel a lot with my guitar and after many years I'm now pretty clear on what I want in a travel guitar. Problem is I can't find such a thing:
Weight: under 3 ½ lb
Durable material: carbon fiber or laminated
Neck: must be removable in some fashion
Nut width: 1 ¾" essential!
Scale length: > 24"
Price: under US$500

I love my Journey OF-660, but it fails on price and more importantly weight (it's 5.5 lb).
Many guitars come close, but none that I can find meet all parameters.
Anybody aware of a suitable guitar that I've missed?

I’ve got a Journey “overhead”. Great travel guitar but the neck is very heavy. Prob. cf BUT some fiberglass in there.

Thanks. Yes, in my post I wrote:
