The bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan 5/2 Nashville style pickup. In the above recording the 5/2 is set around 1/4 of an inch away from the strings so it can be raised higher to give more output if required.

Single Coils

Single coils are a question of taste. Of course you cannot disqualify them, but when you obviously grew up listening to nirvana, without a humbucker your life wouldn´t be the same.

When in a good restaurant, you get so many good options that it makes it harder to choose, yet you know everything tastes incredibly good. But sometimes you just go for the hamburgers.

Single coils sound bright and clean as a teeth. Sound terrific when overdriven, and fit most of country styles. But don´t just take absurd amounts of distortion the same way.

I´m a humbucker lover, what did you wanted?

Though you can make miracles happen when you happen to have a chorus pedal. You see, single coils are also VERY versatile, and range from a variety of music styles. I mean, everything else besides heavy weighted distortions, this guys will take much better.

It´s a matter of taste as mentioned earlier, would you go for the shotgun or the pistol?

I´d sure go for the shotgun =D

Humbuckers

Humbuckers are killers. Ever since they were invented, and invented to rock, only. They crushed two of the aspects that were crucial to people wanting to rock hard. That darn humming, the extra weight and the ability to not supress other notes when playing distorted full chords.

I personally love humbuckers, way more than singles, because you crank up the distortion and you´re powered up. And guitars were built for distortion. But with humbuckers you can get lots of beautiful clean tones as well, see metallica records for a reference.

Although single coils have their use, I´d also change the bridge for a humbucker. This way I have both. the fat and bright from singles, and the screaming trebled humbucker at the bridge.

Versatility is the key when you want to have a guitar that´ll last on your hands. And fender strats are on the spot with these. Of course it depends on how fanatic you are for the country tone that strats have, and that can annoy some people that like things more actual.

Though some les pauls have single coils, I never saw any. Would definitely be inclined to test these, it´d sure thing be a unique experience. If anyone had this, please comment.

Some cool pictures

Mini Humbucker:

Many guitars have their pickups raised WAY too high…affecting both playability and sound. Gibson factory settings for humbucker height is 3/32″ for the bass side and 1/16″ for the treble. I don’t know what it is for P-90s, but these pickups have BIG coils (and TWO magnets). Much higher than 1/4″ and the magnetic fields were beginning to affect the sound in an undesirable way.

Circa ’70-71, when Gibson was also putting those logo-embossed chrome and gold covers on their humbuckers (and mini-humbuckers)
