Re: Show us your one-humbucker-only guitars!

This is my only single humbucker guitar:

It's a total 'bitsa':

The neck is from a Mexican Roland Ready Strat.

(I'm told that) The body is ash and was made by a then UK based luthier called Roger Giffin. I can't really find that much out about it or him, only that he used to build guitars for Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton from Schecter parts and that he then moved to the USA to work for Gibson, amongst others.

The bridge is a standard steel allparts piece. As is the Telecaster control knob and the scratchplate.

The pickup is a Bareknuckle Cold Sweat - mid output with a ceramic mag, similar vibe as a Gibson Dirty Fingers. In theory it really shouldn't work in such a bright sounding ash bodied guitar, but it just does

Rare (as in everyone else smashed and burned theirs for fun) plywood strat copy, duncan detonator. The first guitar that I wired from scratch, it is an amazing metal machine...but after checking out this thread it needs to have some boobs on it.

Edit: or a kitty.

Thanks!! I had a blast playing it last night...could'nt put it down! Plays beautifully & has a nice, sweet, fat tone for solo's (I was expecting thin & sharp for some reason) plus the tightest, chunkiest low end I've ever heard on a guitar. It's like a sledgehammer lol.

Now all I need to do is get used to the neck-dive :

Re: Show us your one-humbucker-only guitars!

I have two single humbucker japanese Jacksons, or actually only one since I'm selling the other to a friend and he already has it even if he hasn't paid in full.

The other is an old beat up red dinky that I just took the single coils off. I have a Fred in it. It has a weird tele style bridge in it. Kind of a weird guitar since it's the lightest strat I've ever felt and rings like crazy.

The other is a Roswell Rhoads. I suppose it has a 500T in it now. It's a very nice guitar. I'd like to buy it back if possible when finances allow.

I also had an SG-X - sold it to the same guy.

I find that I play on the bridge humbucker most of the time. I like the simplicity of single hum guitars. I also like how I have to work with it differently if I want different tones - I can't just roll the tone pot or switch to the neck.

Pics please?

Phantasmagoria,the inlays remind me of some Dean Razorback models.
What is the body made of?

Why don't you tried one of PATB series pickup in it instead EMG?
From what I heard it will definitely thickens up the tone,probably the better choice for your maple guitar than EMG. That's my only 2 cents though.

i prefer the sound of actives, i like their tighter responce...at some point i'd be tempted to try a passive in this guitar but i went from the EMG 81 to the 85 and then i had the 60 for a while before trying both Blackouts and then settling on the 81X...
