Humbucker Pickups
are humbucker pickups the best kind for rock and metal music?
Most people would say yes.
Humbuckers have two distinct advantages over single coil pickups when playing heavy music:
– They can be wound to have a higher output, which helps overdrive the front end of your amp
– They’re fairly immune to noise and intereference, which get important the more you turn up your gain.
That said, there have been a lot of guys that have made some pretty heavy music with single coil pickups (Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower off the top of my head).
