Electric Guitar Pickups

Guitar Pickups are an essential part of any electric guitar. They are needed to convert the vibrations of the string into an electric signal. The guitar pickups you choose can make a huge different to the sound of your guitar. The most common types are humbucker, single coil and P90 (also known as soapbar). Humbucker pickups give a thick and warm sound and cancel out the hum. Single coil pickups are a traditional choice and make for a great all-rounder. P90 guitar pickups fit in between with a gritty sound that has plenty of bite.

Many different companies make guitar pickups and choosing new ones is a very effective way to upgrade and change the sound of your electric guitar. Seymour Duncan are a very well known brand that makes a huge selection of high-quality guitar pickups including their very popular JB model. Other brands include Suhr, Gibson, Fender, and Fishman. Electric guitar pickups can be passive or active, covered or open coil, and also come in different versions, such as for 7 strings. No matter what style of music you play, there will be a suitable pickup for your guitar.
