pickups for fender strat
Fender stratocaster pickups (5 way) + humbucker sound?
ok so let me get this straight….humbucker pickups on a guitar are basically 2 single coil pickups with reverse polarities or something, right? (so they cancel each other out and dont “hum” or buzz or whatever)
But for the 5 way selector on a fender strat, is it basically making it a semi- humbucker sound when you do the in-between selections (4 and 2 i believe)? Because you use 2 sets of the single coils to produce sound, and when you have your amp up high, it tends to cancel out some of the hum/buzz.
am i right?
I was reading the usual single coil vs. humbucker debate and have been thing about this a while w/ my strat.
I personally like single coil pickups…it’s a nice clean sound and I kinda like the hum/buzz at times. It makes the guitar feel ‘alive’.
well you’ll get closer to the sound but it wouldn’t be a humbucker tone. The distance they are apart has alot to do with it. also when you use those settings a pickup goes out of phase which gives you a brighter tone, while humbuckers are known for having a darker tone then single coils.
