Re: who here just loves their single bridge pickup guitars?
Thanks for the compliments. Yeah, every part just works with this guitar, and it just sings. I dunno what it is about this guitar, but prior to building this my ability to pull pinched harmonics was really inconsistent. Since this guitar I can do them with ease, and can find so many variants based on my pick attack and degree of pinching. I dunno if it's the stainless steel frets or the titanium parts in the bridge, or if I've just finally found the way for me to make them work all the time, but this guitar is just so easy to play, and so easy to rip great tones out of it.

Re: who here just loves their single bridge pickup guitars?
Weren't all the Neptune, NJ guitars built in JAPAN, and "inspected" or "adjusted" or smthn in Jersey, LTD/epiphone style???
...afaik, that was the case. Or is it something other than the Neptune Neckplate that you're going by? Kinda curious now, Kramer prices seem all over the map and pretty random (I've seen people selling them - the old ones, not musicyo's korea/china stuff - for $~200 - $~1500), so identification techniques seem paramount. And you guys are giving me a huge itch for a single-hum superstrat!

^^ The necks were made by ESP, bodies outsourced to a company called Sports, later ESP. Schaller pu came first, then in 1984/85, JB. The one in the pic there is a later 80s model - lower cutaway scoop and recessed Floyd.
All guitars, however, were assembled and set up in America.

This is the best single pickup guitar in this thread. Why? Because I made it in woodshop class and because I said so. And yes, that is an oak body, maple neck, Schaller Floyd, and Custom Custom. Sustain and heavy-ness (physically and sonically).

Mids mids mids plus a Custom Custom = MIDS MIDS MIDS + the mid control on my amp at 10 = MIDS HOLY F*CKING MIDS! Think mahogany, but more mids, a little less bass, more sustain, a silky high end, and a lot prettier.
It actually sounds like a cross between a (in order of most similar to least similar) SG, Telecaster, Les Paul. Just more sustain, and the body is thinner than most Fender-style bodies, about 1 5/8 - 1.5". Have to check.
