Strat Pickup Guitar
Fender Strat Guitar single coil question?
I'm planning on purchasing a Fender American Standard Strat, but i had some questions regarding the single coil pickups. Are these pickups quiet, or do they have a hum when played? and if so, is there any way to combat it besides choosing a different guitar, replacing the piuckups, etc....
thanks!
Hello there,
I have played a Strat off and on for around 50 years and never had a problem with a Fender Strat's pickups. Perhaps some of the more cheaply made Squier's and other Strat clones have noisy pickups. However, I don't know of any off hand. Eric Clapton played a Strat for years. So did Stevie Ray Vaughn. As did Jimi Hendrix. All played Strats with 3 single coil pickups. As has countless other well known guitarists over the past 50 years.
A humbucking pickup has two coils. The second is reverse wound in contrast to the first coil. That gives it a hum cancelling effect. On a Fender Strat, the middle pickup is reverse wound. When you play with the selector switch in the 2nd or 4th position, you have the mid pickup and either the bridge or neck pickup playing. That also has a hum cancelling effect.
