Re: Are you a Humbucker or Single-Coil lover?
humbuckers in the bridge every time, singles in the bridge are too thin sounding to me... however - if the guitars a tele thats a different story
i dont like middle position humbuckers but for the neck it depends what im playing so 50 50 either way in the neck

Hmmm, it seems you guys mostly use Humbuckers for metal rhythm stuff and such. I used to HATE single-coils until I put one up with a high-gain OVERDRIVE (not your modern heavy metal distortion) and it is the most responsive solo tone I've ever had! I'm gonna have to post some clips once I get a mic because it's tough to explain. It's sorta like Yngwie, but with more gain.
Well, what I'm getting at is, single-coils can rock with metalheads too!
Humbuckers will always win when it comes down to that brutal CHUNK though :13:

duhh!!!
i think iron maiden showed us that a while ago!! :burnout:
i like both equally, i love tele single coil tone but hat strat bridge tone. but when i do jazz stuff, a nice thick humbucker is always good. and for blues, singles are hard to beat. but for my choice i'll say a nice thick humbucker that can be split

Hard to pick. I would say taht I prefer single-coils just a teensy bit over buckers, just cuz I play clean a lot of the time.

The thing is: I can plug my Strat or Tele into a STRATDELUXER modded TS-9 or DS-1 and get as fat and full an overdriven tone as I need...you'd swear you're listening to a humbucker.
But no device can make a humbucker sound as clean and lively and sparkling as a good single coil.
So I can do it all with my Strats and Teles with single coils.
