The basic decision to be made when choosing pickups is that of humbuckers or single coils. With the alternative methods of hum elimination now available, this is very largely a matter of taste, with a smattering of your own willingness to hack up your instrument thrown in! Fortunately, your guitar’s physical design no longer limits this choice – mini humbuckers can be fitted into single coil cavities, and humbuckers can be split. The variety of pickups available has never been greater, from vintage to modern and wallet-friendly to wallet-busting. We hope this Online Advisor has left you with the confidence to go ahead and experiment - the choice is yours!
