The Best Electric Guitars Single Cut

What is a single cut electric guitar?

A single cut electric guitar is a type of guitar that has a single cut or notch in the body, usually on the upper part, to facilitate access to the highest frets of the neck. This design became popular with the Gibson Les Paul, one of the most iconic guitars in history, which has been used by great musicians such as Jimmy Page, Slash or Gary Moore. Single cut electric guitars usually have a warm and powerful sound, ideal for styles such as rock, blues or metal.

How to choose a single cut electric guitar?

When buying a single cut electric guitar, you have to take into account several factors, such as budget, level of experience, musical style and personal preferences. Some aspects that you can consider are:

• The type of wood: it influences the weight, resonance and tone of the guitar. The most common are mahogany, maple and alder.
• The type of pickups: they are the elements that capture the sound of the strings and convert it into electrical signal. The most common are humbuckers, which have a thick and powerful sound, and single coils, which have a brighter and more defined sound.
• The type of bridge: it is the piece that holds the strings to the body and allows adjusting their height and tuning. The most used are fixed bridges, which give more stability and sustain, and floating bridges, which allow vibratos and effects with a lever.
• The type of neck: it is the part where the fingerboard and frets are located. It can be bolted on, glued on or one piece with the body. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages in terms of comfort, resistance and sound.
