Re: Benefit to single humbucker guitars
I used to own a 71 or 72 Gibson SG-100, which was a student guitar model only made for those years. It had a single pickup at the neck position. I liked that guitar so much that after I sold it I had a Warmoth single pickup guitar made. (I sold the SG-100 because I didn't ever bond with it's skinny neck, not because it didn't sound great). In my Warmoth guitar I chose a single SD Screamin' Demon pickup for the neck position. It's normally a bridge position pickup, but it sounds wonderful in the neck of my Soloist - it's natural brightness and articulation compensate nicely for the lack of a bridge pickup. All the comments in previous posts about single hum guitars' simplicity and "psychological benefit" of that, apply here. Here it is:
