Single Pickup Guitars

[ztikmaen]

Having no neck pickup is like having one of those "brakeless" BMX bikes. Or a doorless car. Or an ice-cream without the cone. Or a woman without the clothes. They make you appreciate the potential without the "nice" things

SG Junior, Firebird 1 or some kind of Superstrat :)

That Wez Firebird of yours looks fantastic.

it sounds as good as it looks too! pure tone

I think my attration to single-pickup guitars is more of an "out of principle" sort of thing. Maybe you could even call it a gimmick. What I do is pretty much all fury, all the time, so a stripped-down guitar makes sense.
Versatility is not something I need, at all.

Plus, it just looks cool.

It would have been a gimmick had not the first few electric guitars had it
Was playing on my guitars today and 80% of the time I was using the Bridge position. When I win lotto I'll buy lots of single pickup guitars, for bridge AND neck
I can imagine being a rebel in an indie band and playing a neck-pickup-only jazz electric guitar on high fuzz into an Orange amp. So badass :O

I can see and hear it, and I can tell you it would not be badass, it would be shameful. :)

Then a plank with a neckpickup makes it a woman with some chique lingerie?

Pretty much, yeah. But I'd rather do without the fancy bits to be honest.

This solo (3:03 on this video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp1PMo3s0dw got me on the same mood, even tho it's probably not your type of music. I'm a rhcp fan tho :)

If the neck pickup was really awesome it would be some badass lingerie? :$
You know what I mean. If somebody managed to make it sound good it would be a really different sound right?

Don't worry. I can get some wicked tones on the neckpu of my tele that makes the birds scream...  :)

A rougher version of that was exactly my idea :D I'm not such a big guy, will those look huge?
Oh btw, will BKP be willing to make larger sized Dogear P90s (like the Jazzmaster) because those would look cool on a hollow body guitar imo

Wow, that is really, really cool. Too bad I can't get over the fact that it's a Sig model for a band I absolutely detest.

Same... All signature guitars need to have standard counterparts
Also this :D (Another signature -__-)
