What is the speciality of a Humbucker pickup? in a normal strat model there will be 3 single coil pickups What will be the advantage if we place a humbucker in the place of a single coil? Im newbie. so please clarify
there are two types of pickups 1) single coil 2) humbuker (double coil) single coil as we know..is good how ever a litle noise is produced. so in order to remove that noise . In a humbuker pickup we have two single coil pickups inverted repectively to each other and it reduced a lot of noise.
Humbuckers were created to cancel out hum from electrical circuits. In addition humbuckers have a "thicker" sound. That's the essence of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humbucker
