A Doublecut Electric Guitar is a type of electric guitar that features cutaways (known as "Cutaways") on both sides of the neck. These cutaways make it easier to play higher notes on the fretboard, allowing better access to the upper frets with your hand. This design sets it apart from Singlecut guitars, which have the cutaway on only one side. Popular examples of Doublecut guitars include the Gibson SG or ESP Viper. This design is not only practical but also gives the guitar a distinctly modern appearance.
A Doublecut Electric Guitar produces a rich, powerful, and clear sound. The slim double-cut shape of the guitar allows the player to reach the upper frets more easily, which, in turn, enhances the instrument's versatility and dynamics. The characteristic tonal range spans from warm and gentle tones suitable for jazz and blues to sharp and powerful tones ideal for rock and metal. Overall, the Doublecut Electric Guitar can impress with an extremely versatile sound profile.
One of the most famous musicians known for playing Doublecut guitars is undoubtedly Angus Young of AC/DC. He is famous for his affection for his wine-red Gibson SG. Another well-known Doublecut player is Eric Clapton, who significantly shaped the sound of Cream with his Gibson SG named "The Fool." Also, John Lennon, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day are notable Doublecut enthusiasts.
Many guitar manufacturers offer Doublecut Electric Guitars. Among the most well-known are Gibson and Epiphone with their famous SG series. Additionally, ESP offers metal-oriented Doublecut Electric Guitars with their Viper models, while the Gretsch Double Jet Electric Guitar features a thicker body and flexible configuration options. Also, J & D Guitars offers the typical Doublecut Electric Guitar with their GG1S model.
