Single Coil Pickups

Single Coil Pickups are electric and bass pickups that are commonly found in guitars like the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster and are loved for their crisp chiming tone. One of their most impressive features is that the bridge pickup, middle pickup, neck pickup and various combinations of your three single coil pickups each produce a wide variety of tones that can be useful for making your guitar sit and stand out in a mix at the flick of the pickup switch. To raise the contrast on your tonal options even more, a wide variety of pickups are available that use innovative design elements to accentuate your single coil tone.

Manufacturers like Seymour Duncan, Lollar Pickups and Bare Knuckle Pickups offer a huge selection of single coil pickups that use traditional and state-of-the-art processes to achieve unique characteristics that can bring out the best in your tone. Some great examples are high gain Alnico II Stratocaster pickups that give you a higher output for a gnarly tone, reverse wound pickups that can be used to cancel the hum from other guitar pickups and P90 pickups that are based around a design that uses two magnets to achieve a warmer tone that cuts out some of the high frequencies from the magnetic field that are a signature part of the traditional signal coil tone.
