The Singlecut Electric Guitar is undoubtedly an absolute classic of the electric guitar and has enjoyed unbroken popularity for decades. It gets its name from its iconic cutaway (or "cut") at the bottom of the neck/body junction, making it significantly easier to reach the higher frets on the fretboard. In addition, Singlecut Electric Guitars typically feature two powerful humbucking pickups and a fixed bridge construction that contributes to their distinctive sound.
A Singlecut Electric Guitar has a warm, full sound that is particularly well-suited for blues, jazz, and classic rock. Its robust body provides the guitar with stronger resonance and a deeper bass, contributing to its characteristic powerful tone. When used with distortion, the Singlecut guitar can produce a rich, assertive sound, making it ideal for powerful rock playing.
Singlecut Electric Guitars have profoundly shaped the modern music world in the hands of numerous famous guitarists. Notably, rock 'n' roll pioneer Chuck Berry played such an instrument. Les Paul, the inventor of this guitar type, naturally played one of his own creations. Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin is another well-known Singlecut player. Rock icons such as Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Slash of Guns N' Roses, and Joe Perry of Aerosmith have also chosen Singlecut Electric Guitars.
Among the most prominent manufacturers of Singlecut Electric Guitars are Gibson and PRS (Paul Reed Smith). Gibson's famous model is the Les Paul, while PRS has its own Singlecut models. Other brands like Epiphone, ESP, and Gretsch also offer such guitars. For example, the ESP Eclipse is a great choice for metalheads, while the Gretsch Jet boasts numerous features and is suitable for a wide range of genres.
