SingleCut Question

[Henry Diaz]

Hi Everyone:

I am just curious about this. In comparison to the Singlecut models, have the bodies ever in the past been as thin as the CE and Custom 24 models?
I know with the newer SE 245 models, they are pretty much thicker like an LP, and I started to notice that the new McCarty Singlecuts are slightly thicker as well. Was this because after the Gibson lawsuit? Just wondering... thank you for reading.

I've never seen a thin PRS singlecut.

The old SC Trem as well as the ME SC were thinner.

SC satin standards were thinner, they had no maple cap.

I have a Singlecut SE with a trem. It`s thin, and sounds great.

Yes, this. They were no thinner than a McCarty. Perhaps a little thicker, but noticeably thinner than the regular Singlecut model.

Thickness has nothing to do with the lawsuit. Rather, I think it's PRS refining the formula to get the tone they want.

I have two Tremonti that are both equally thick, Les Paul thick. But my single cut trem is exactly between a Tremonti and a custom24, now the neck on that baby is thick! Baby hand and apple thick, I mean in comparison to the Tremonti and custom24

Interesting thoughts. I do prefer the "LP" thickness as well.

I've owned two SE singlecuts, with trem and without. Both were thinner than the current SE 245s. Also, the one with trem had a slightly flatter neck angle than the one with a stop tailpiece.

I did find it interesting when they made the SE Singlecut models much more thicker now than before. I would be nice to see more of a carve tp rather than a beveled top. But I know it would raise costs for sure.
