Single Coil Pickups vs. Humbucker pickups in Electric Guitars Demo Video

http://www.soundpure.com/c/electric-guitars-solid-body-/36
Humbucker vs. Single Coil pickup comparison in this Electric Guitar demonstration video. Using the Tyler Studio Elite Retro guitar, with the JTS2 Hot Laura Single Coil Pickups, and the Nash T-72 DLX, with the Fender Wide Range Dual Humbucker Pickups, we will demonstrate the tonal and practical differences between these two pickups and show the amazing sound you can achieve from each type. Many Single Coil Pickups will be a little noisy when they are played at higher amplifier volumes or played with a lighter touch. The result you get is a slight hum. The single coil is bright and present and in strat style guitars has a bell-like quality. For a thicker overall sound and to rid yourself of most background hum, then you may be interested in the humbucker pickups. Humbuckers can be used in the same style music as single coil pickups, they just give off more bass and tonal qualities. The middle and bass frequencies are different from a single coil, and that will be the first difference you recognize. If you have any questions on these two pickups and guitars, or any of the guitars we have in our boutique, contact us here at Sound Pure.

Hello,may i ask you something please? I like guitarrists like Paul Gilbert,Joe Satriani,Steve Vai(all ibanez players) but i cant afford a good ibanez so im getting a Jackson DK2.My question is,should i get a jackson with S-S-H or one with H-S-H?Becuase all of the Ibanez guitars have a 5 way switch which makes humbuckers into single coils.

@granskater We highly recommend that you experiment with them both and try to determine which is the best for your particular taste and style. At the end of the day, they are really two different sets of tonal colors, and it's impossible for us to make that judgment for you, even given the artists that you've described. Both pickup setups should be somewhat versatile, however. Sorry we can't be more definitive- if we had those instruments here, we would definitely be more help!

[dlheidemann]

That might be the ugliest headstock I've ever seen on that strat type thing...

[soundpurestudios]

@dlheidemann not for you, eh? We have plenty of more traditional headstocks, not to worry!

[soundpurestudios]

@juanlash There are a few ways to achieve this. Many amps will have two imputs, one with higher gain that you can designate for tele use. Another technique would be to use a clean boost pedal to match the higher gain of the humbuckers. We carry several different varieties of boost pedals and would be happy to help you find the perfect one. Call or email me at jared(at)soundpure(dot)com and I can help you with this issue!

So the single coil have lower volume??, that explains why my Telecaster is quieter than my other guitar that uses humbucker, so, how should I make my Tele to sound a little bit louder?? or do I just need to increase the volume of my amp?

love your vids, they are (if not the best) the best quality in playing, sound and description!
