Single pickup guitars

[soliloquy]

Yes, I searched on SS.org and also on google...surprising just theoretical threads, but none specifically for single pickup guitars.
Be it neck, middle, or bridge. P90s, single coil, or humbucker...

post em below if you have em, or if you're gassing for one...or two...

I still dont know if i regret not buying the Keven Bond RR from many years ago. And i still dont know who exactly Kevin Bond is, but cool guitar

I'd love to see an Ibanez FR body in a single bridge pickup configuration. Some how that doesn't exist...yet...

Get it simple, stupid.

I had a les paul junior briefly - great guitar just a bit too much beef in the neck profile.

I also converted my S2 singlecut to single hum and put a 57+ in the bridge while I did. Its a good time.

Im on my phone so I’ll have to dig up the pics.

I like single pickup guitars, any of my current ones have a single humbucker at the bridge.

The G&L is one of the og's from the 80's. Super solid guitar that has been a round the block before I got it. As far as I know it has the original Schaller pickup which sounds great!

The Ibanez has an EMG 707TWX-R which has a single coil mode so it's a little more versatile. I play that guitar a lot, probably just as much as my nicer 7's. I made the pickguard too, still figuring out how I want to finish it.

I couldn't find a picture of mine but I also have one of the newer cheapo Kramer Barettas in blue. They're pretty solid guitars for not a lot of money.

I remember someone had a PRS S2 single cut standard (or is it satin?) In black, where they installed a custom pickguard and a BKP warping in the bridge.

They had a NGD here, but can't seem to find it. There is a video of the person around YouTube though.

*Sigh

Surprised prs doesn't sell single pickup if their S2 lineup, or one without pickguard

 

[remorse is for the dead]

Custom pickguards FTW!

Ooh I got an excuse to bring up the one(two)-off guitar that PRS made for EVH after Kramer died in 1990

Currently my only single-pickup guitar, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

That might be my guitar, and if there are videos of someone playing it they're from the prior owner. https://www.sevenstring.org/threads/new-prs-day.362970/#post-5528925

It now has a tortoiseshell pickguard and a set of Black Winters because I have to have a neck pickup. I also have a Jackson COW 7 that I routed for a neck pickup . I still have the single-hum pickguard and BKP silo if anyone wants to modify their S2.

My only single pickup guitar, a partscaster with a Suhr Thornbucker.

I will own one of these again, eventually. I still kick myself all the time for selling my black one when these were cheap. I did so in the hopes of getting a red one and long story short I've been waiting close to a decade to find one.

Since there are a few sevens hanging out in here...

Is that a COW?

Yes! COW 7 to be exact. Honestly I’m surprised Jackson hasn’t reissued these or released a similar model with more modern specs. Those guitars are absolutely killer. Unfortunately for me though the one I want is the rarest finish of an already fairly rare guitar.

Yup. I don't really play 7-strings anymore but I'll never sell my silverburst one. It sounds massive and is an absolute joy to play. They occasionally pop out on Reverb for over a grand, which feels like a lot but I haven't touched anything else at that price point as nice as mine.

I have my Ironbird Prophecy with a single pickup. Currently a Super Distortion, but I am planning on adding an angled neck pickup. I picked up a DiMarzio Chopper that I'm going to have my tech route and install for me so I don't screw it up.
