Pick-ups. How do they work?


Recommended Posts

First off, I know the basic physics, movement in a magnetic field generating electricity.

 

My question is 'how do you manipulate the sound?' Some pick-ups are hotter - more windings I would presume. What about those with tonal variation, enhanced mids, sparkling treble, all that sort of thing. How is that achieved?

Totally agree, the last chapter made me laugh a lot.

 

The rest is a bit more foggy than all the knowledge of Bill Lawrence.

 

That said, the book of Erno Zwaan (the guy behind the amazing Q-Tuner pickups) called Animal Magnetism for Musicians goes deep into the pickups guts and guitar building.
