One By One Guitars
-Set 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 set neck style guitars that I build. Without being exact copies, the inspiration and core DNA of these instruments comes from classic Gibson and PRS guitars. The SC245 guitars are based on a late 50s LP, the LV56 has a softer Venetian cutaway and leans more towards PRS, and the ZF250 is my own zero fret design. While each instrument is unique, the set neck family of guitars share some basic traits:
​
-- Shallow angle set neck
-- 3 x3 tuners on a 12 degree scarf joint headstock
-- Wraparound or T.O.M. bridge
-- Single cutaway body
-- 22 fret 24.625" scale fretboard
