Can anyone explain (as best as possible with words) what 'thin,' 'muddy,' 'fat,' 'warm,' mean concerning pickup tones?

Does pickup height affect tone or just the output? I have '59 on neck and Hot rails on bridge of my strat. I have stock on middle and i want to adjust the height on all such that there is a balanced output without the middle one being too high (it bothers me when i pick around there).

If anyone has pictures of their strats with multiple single-coil sized humbuckers, could you post them so I can see what they look like? I have SHR-1 Hot Rails on bridge and '59 on neck. I want to see what strats would look like with other combos. Sorry i can't post mine. I don't have camera.

I'm not quite sure which term it is (split, series, etc.) but how close to a single coil pickup will it sound if I disconnect one the coils on a humbucker? More specifically, I have a Hot Rails SHR-1 on bridge and Little '59 on neck (both single-coil sized humbuckers). I love the way these sound...

Now that I've installed Hot Rails for my bridge, I know first hand what they sound like. What would be the closesest to the tone and output of Hot Rails that looks just like regular single coils?

A few days ago I installed SHR-1 Hot Rails on my bridge and it is exactly what I was going for! Seymour has nailed it right on! Just wanted to post my opinion!

I just installed Hot Rails for the bridge position of my MIA Strat and it sounds great!! The problem is, the #2 position (Bridge and Middle) are no longer hum-free! What did I do wrong (the middle pickup is a stock single coil)? How can I correct this problem?

How should store my original pickup after I install new ones so as to keep it safe?

Will it be possible to install Hot Rails (bridge) with original fender pickup cover over it so as to make it appear like an original stock pickup?

What do most experienced guitarists think of the 490R and 498T pickups on Les Pauls? I just don't hear anything about them in forums, etc...Many usually talk about PAF's, etc...

I need help choosing a pickup for my Fender Strat. Which pickup, Hot Rails or Little '59, will give heavier, richer, more sustained distortion sound? Do they sound similar enough to go with the one I think looks better (Little '59)?
