The Single-Pickup Guitar Thread. Post Yer Faves!

[frippy]

I love how Gretsch has made so many guitars that only have one pickup, but that they used both bridge and neck positions on different models.

This thread = Best idea I've had all month.

Gretsch may have made the best single-pickup guitars This thread is stellar... giving me GAS for another guitar

I like single-pickup guitars too! Here are a few I've built...

Melodycaster: a MIM Strat modded to resemble an old Gibson Melody Maker. Single red Lace Sensor. If I was talented I would have replaced the bridge w a tune-o-matic. Instead I just blocked it...



Sonicguar: A Squier Duo Sonic modded to resemble a Jaguar. Single Dimarzio taken out of a Billy Corgan Strat.

You are awesome. Seriously, those guitars rock.

so many cool guitars in this thread, the ES-300, Dano U-1, and Musicmaster being my favorites. I'm currently putting together a MM.


dude that modded MIM Strat rules. did you fill routes and refinish it? good job!

I have mixed feelings on the modding of a CV duo but I will say it does look cool. looks like those Framus Juniors posted earlier in the thread.

That thing is brilliant!

The strat "melodycaster" was my first attempt at doing anything to a guitar (other than ordering parts from warmoth they they customized more or less for me). The pickup routes and trem cavity were plugged w mahogany and the body was painted with krylon spray paint. It wasn't until after that project that I found threads and posts with valuable information (like sanding sealer; the one factor that made me feel like I could actually do a decent refinish a guitar). I was gonna post the story of that guitar, but figured strats are boring. I tried to sell it on eBay to fund a Jazzmaster project I just started. Didn't get one bid, w a $50 starting price. I'm on my iPhone right now, but when I get home I'll post a melodycaster thread. If you're interested you can see the pics of the step-by-step at myspace.com/andrewwritesmusic until then... Thanks
