RVA Ambassador Jan 5, 2017 #8 Very cool Paul! A one pickup guitar tends to inspire ideas and playing creativity simply because so many options are removed.

Most definitely, after all my years of playing, single pickups guitars are still my favorite, IMO they make you work at getting your sound and the simplicity embellishes the tonal response.
