Singlecuts divide opinion, yes. But then again so do Ferraris, the offside rule, doughnuts and Belgium. I like most SCs, many other people do too, a lot of people don't. <shrug> World would be dull if we all liked the same stuff. So my answer to the original question is, "why not?".

But then again, what is a Les Paul if not a single-cut?

Or a Tele, for that matter.
