Buxom Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 That's right, for all you single people out there. Single Person (Noun) Definition: Someone who owns or loves a single cut guitar. Single people are cool with me, they aren't as horny as those double cut people. Less chance of getting poked. ;) Anyways, let's get to some pictures and stories about some lovely single cuts. My Telecaster: Bright red, maple neck, a beauty. I built it last summer from a slew of parts, some of which I don't know the origin. The bridge, for example. I've been told many things, but the most plausible answer I've gotten is late 90s GL, or a MIM Toploader. It has a vintage Epi HB in the neck, and a standard single in the bridge. It has a light yellow, 3 ply pickguard, and knobs off of an old broken amp. I was told it has pots from a Squier, a switch from a MIJ, and the body of a MIM. The neck was bought after the initial purchase of the guitar, due to the other one breaking at the heel during shipping, it's a MIM. I haven't gone over everything parts wise, nobody cares about that, time for some pics. :D Though it's getting a bit battered, I love it to death. One of the brackets for the HB is broken, so I use a tuner gear as compensation so slightly equalize the height. It still leans, and this causes it to be off center with the strings, but I love the sound it gives, so I really don't want to replace it now. Cheers, and let your singles mingle.

Buxom Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Is it just me, or does the burst look a bit uneven on your LP? Maybe it's the angle, but it looks a bit off. I think it looks cool, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
