    Is it possible to have more than 3 pickups on a guitar, not counting humbuckers?

      I've seen pictures of guitars with four humbuckers. I've always thought it would be interesting to make a 20-fret guitar with (neck to bridge) a phat cat, alnicoII pro, 59, and distortion.

          Ergo, if you REALLY wanted to, you could put 8 Single coils or stacked Hummies in there

            If you put too many in there you'll have so much of a string pull from the magnetic field that'll you'll hardly have any sustain and string vibration.

              My Alvarez Dana Scoop had 4 single coils stock. It now has one HB and 2 singles.
