A semi-hollow guitar, with humbuckers and crucially, a slim D-shaped neck.

As per the thread title, does anyone know of a guitar that would fit that description? C-shapes are too thick for me, and the slim taper D feels just right. Trouble is, I am struggling to find a semi hollow guitar with humbuckers with that slim D shape neck. Any ideas?

Any ideas?

AFAIK most of the Dot models had 'slim taper D-type' necks

Good god, yes. That has been staring me right in the face!

Older headstock (2011-2018) ES-339 has it.

Ibanez does the thin taper necks, and does them really well.

Epi Sheraton. My favorite guitar and it fits all your criteria.

Yes, my 2012 339 has a 60's slim taper neck.

I use to have 2 or 3 of the late '80s early '90s Korean Sheratons. If I remember right those had the thin D shape necks. Probly can find 'em around used on the interwebs. They're great guitars.

I had a ‘99 that had a slim neck. And I had a ‘16 that I thought had about the slimmest neck I have ever owned.

Sounds like you're on the hunt for something pretty specific! A semi-hollow with humbuckers and a slim D-shaped neck can be a bit tricky to find, especially since a lot of manufacturers lean towards the C-shape. You might want to check out some of the higher-end Ibanez Artcore models or the Epiphone ES-339 Pro, as I’ve heard they tend to have slimmer necks that could lean towards the D-shape you're after.

Another one to consider could be the PRS SE Custom Semi-Hollow. PRS guitars generally have pretty comfortable neck profiles, and some of their models feature a slimmer design, though they’re usually not advertised as strict D-shape.

If you haven't already, you could also explore custom builds or lesser-known brands like D'Angelico. They sometimes offer slimmer necks, and their semi-hollow models are pretty solid with humbuckers. I’d recommend trying them out in person if you can, just to get a feel for the neck and make sure it fits your comfort zone.
