It seems a lot of hollow-body guitars have humbucker pickups. Am I mistaken or do some of them have single coils.??



Single coils are cleaner sounding, correct.?? How would you describe Humbuckers.??


Single coils are brighter and sparklier. Humbucker pickups have a warmer “thicker” sound. They also handle high gain much better.
