One By One Guitars
-Bolt Neck Guitars Sampler-
The philosophy behind One by One Guitars is, rather than mass producing identical guitars, there are “families” of individually crafted instruments that share core design features. Below is a sample of the bolt-on neck style guitars that I build. Without being exact copies, the inspiration and core DNA of these instruments comes from classic Fender guitars. The TS255 guitars are very close to an early 60s Tele, the TY255 guitars are based on a 90s Yamaha, the JM255 guitars are a mashup of various Fenders, and the RS255/RG255 is my take on a "super Strat." While each instrument is unique, the bolt neck family of guitars generally share some basic traits:
-- No angle screw on maple neck
-- 6 inline tuners
-- 25.5" scale
-- Single coil pickups
