JUST ONE CORRNEETTOOOO (Sorry, I mean pickup, just one pickup)

[JSett]

I'm not sure people outside of the UK know what a Cornetto is but here in the UK there was a very famous advert series for them with a very memorable theme tune. Sorry if the reference is lost on you Anyways, with all the talk over on other threads about single-pickup guitars, again I thought they warranted a thread.

So, what 1-pickup guitars are in your arsenal?

I've currently got two that I've modified to just have a bridge pickup. The Tele (now Esquire) and the Punk-Rockenbacker:





If I keep the Guild (strong chance) then that'll get the same treatment.

So, you know the drill, guitar forums are basically just an adult show-n-tell - right?

God I've not heard that Cornetto advert in years, what a blast from the past

I love the Kirby Tele, what a match for your BD2.


I've got a couple (I hope basses count) but both are actually offset so perhaps not for this thread?


'78 Bronco - I actually really need to sell this unfortunately, I just don't use it. I'm going to attempt to buff out the weird stripes on it and get it back to a more original colour before selling - where my forearm rubs it has buffed out the stripes so I'm hoping a nice soft cotton buffing wheel will do the trick.



'74 Musicmaster Bass. My one and only bass that's been everywhere with me from when I toured with it for a few years. I replaced the strat pickup with a Mojo replacement designed for bass and it sounds so go and it's such a joy to play.


Good times, quite sorely missed at the minute

GreenKnee joins Cousin Itt UK tour?



P.s. those old offsets are lovely

Cornetto the ice cream? We have that as well… but I‘m slightly too young for that specific ad.


There is an EKO CO1 (one just like this) for sale in Austria for - I think they look awesome but could use a small (or big) black pickguard.

I only put this in the non-offset section so it could encompass everything. All are welcome!

That Bronco is so wild with those stripes.

Speaking of cornettos, here's an orange ice pop: my Esquired partscaster.
Guitarbuild (UK) body and neck, Q Pickups pickup.

Although I must confess that most of my guitars have 2 pickups!

I used to have this awesome Kramer Baretta from the 80s! An incredible shred machine, and the Floyd was absolutely hilarious. As you can tell me other guitars it really is not my type but it's garish colour and ridiculous shred aesthetic drew me to it. I gigged with it a few times, but it just didn't fit unfortunately. Sold it for an absolute fortune as well, so a happy ending

I remember that white Bronco with the tan lines. I love single pickup guitars. I don’t own one at the moment, but I had a nice SG Jr back in the early 2000s.

Currently in this form:



... But evolving to this (in progress):

No single pickup guitars here (unless a P-Bass counts) but had to jump in with this:

[Pacafeliz]

Y'all know and have seen mine:

1971 Dan Armstrong plexi - über modded
2000s Ampeg AMG100 (wooden reissue of the above guitar)
1975 Fender Bronco (the BroncoBlaster), red refin i believe, custom guard, 70s WRHB in the bridge
197? Fender Bronco body, black, butchered and savagely routed and whatnot, new black guard, creme Dimarzio sds-1 pickup in bridge. Has 1976 Musicmaster neck on.
2021? Squier CV Esquire Custom, black, stock (still - I plan hotrailing it)
1997? Squier Musicmaster Bass, black, stock

[Embenny]

I've just got one, a Melody Maker Flying V.



I've got a Stewmac lipstick tube humbucker and an intonateable wraparound bridge that I've been meaning to swap on to it. The stock pickup is a bit "generic rock humbucker" for my taste.

[Bradley-Jazz]

I've just got one too - Godin Kingpin.



It is a very, very nice guitar. I should play it more.
