Hey I was wondering if someone could tell me what's the difference between the single coil pick ups and the dual coil pick ups.

Another question is what's the difference between the humbuckers pick up's with the single coil pick ups and these with the active pick ups (like the emg's)

dual coil pickups are what humbuckers are, two coils in series.


Of the two coils, one has magnets that are reverse in polarity and the coil wire is wound if the opposite direction.


What that does is cancel out the interference (AC)

hence the term, "HUM bucking"

There is no such thing as a hb with a single coil.

Active pickups have a electrical source (battery) in the wiring to modify their signal, so are usually higher output.
