Hello everyone
I wanna buy new pickups for blues and find more info here, but i have questions and wait for answers.
Do most people use humbuckers or single coils for Blues Rock? I notice that single coils are very popular with Blues Rock. What kind of pickups do you use for this kind of music?
Welcome to our friendly forum, jnivanyi.
The best sounding 6-string guitar I own is a strat-style number by Jim Dyson with the classic three single-coil pickups arrangement. It was originally built for an Australian blues player.
I don’t have the background to say whether it’s the pick-up style or his circuitry design (or the combination) but blues licks sound extraordinary on it and I’m a relatively ordinary player.
Individual notes in the upper register seem to “sing” and remain clear as the sustain dies away in a fashon that my humbucker-based Epiphone can’t reproduce.
