Re: humcancelling?

Do you ever get hum when playing your guitar? Do you have single coils pickups?

Hum is a noise that one gets that is irritating. Noise cancelling pickups get rid of that. Many people play and don't mind the hum, but I mind it a lot.

I don't know how it works technically but I can tell you that if you hate the hum but like single coil pups, try the noiseless. Picked up some Fender Hot Noiseless recently and put em' in my Strat. So quiet.
