Aim for a pickup that has 12-14K resistance in HB mode and 5-7K in SC mode. You can even get HB's that come in the size of single coils and if you get a push pull pot, you can have a HB tone and a SC tone with a switch in one pickup. Just to get a taste of what is out there. Sorry, I didn't realise until after typing this that you are in India, but I assume there'd be other guitars to try. Although you have both options available if you want to combine two singles, it's hard to guess which way to use. Typically, a humbucker is wired in series. and seriously check out Yamaha Pacificas, the high end ones are boutique quality and they have the best aspects of Strats but with some nice modern twists. In the strat, when two RWRP pickups are selected in position 2 and 4, they are connected in parallel. These days, there's a thousand different amp companies and a thousand different guitar designs. The way some people talk on here, you'd still think it's 1970 (no offense to anyone who still thinks it's 1970). There's also PRS (hybrid LP/strat) and other options. There's so many HB's out there in so many shapes and sizes, it's hard to generalise other than to see that there's a flavour out for nearly everything that one would want to accomplish. HB's can take a hard pick attack (within reason). Otherwise there are too many factors and differences from guitar to guitar. If you try a HB strat, you can make a better comparison from HB to SC.

unless you use thicker strings or raise the action. By comparison Gibsons 24.75" scale is floppier. The scale length might contribute to your problem since the higher tension of 25.5 inches allows for a harder attack. But with a Floyd Rose or fixed bridge, a few extra frets and depending on the guitar, a similar neck or a thinner neck. For me Gibsons don't exist (just personal preference) although I do hope someday to get a 335 or 339.įor a superstrat, the body is a similar shape, same scale length and some similar tones if the HB's have coil taps. Less than 10 parts are used to build the Quiet Coils.In my world, the alternative to a single coil Fender guitar isn't a Gibson, it's a superstrat.No routing modifications are required to fit shallow vintage routs like the taller stacked hum-cancelling designs.Vintage staggered polepieces for a traditional strat pickup look.Matched resonant peak frequency, inductance, and resistance of a vintage single coil.Vintage cloth covered leads for easy push-back soldering.Vintage formulated Alnico magnet cores with lower Gauss levels like an aged vintage strat pickup.Consistent scatterwound coils for that handwound tone, sensitivity, and clarity.All of this while achieving perfect single coil strat tone and absolutely no hum! NOTE: With all Mojotone “Quiet Coil” pickups, you never have to worry about string spacing and fretboard radius issues, or the magnets pulling the strings out of tune, and you can bend the strings heavily without ever losing focus or sustain.

The result is simply the most pure and authentic strat tone possible, with absolutely no loss of true single coil tone.
Single coil vs humbucker in strat Pc#
No PC boards, batteries, stacked coils, or anything else associated with other hum-canceling pickups were used in our design. ‘58 “Quiet Coil strat pickups are passive and only use the same parts and materials found in original vintage ‘58 strat pickups.

Aside from the parts and materials used, we also matched the resonant peak frequency, and inductance of a vintage single coil, so they sit right in the frequency response and feel of a traditional single coil, without having to compensate for it. Our approach was very simple, to make a hum-cancelling strat pickup that looks and sounds like a real single coil with minimal parts and adhering to actual vintage single coil attributes. If you have any questions about the Strat Quiet Coil Pickups, please check out our Mojotone Quiet Coil Strat Pickups FAQ. Carefully balanced in output from the neck, middle, to bridge positions, and completely hum-canceling in ALL positions! The all new patent applied for Mojotone ‘58 “Quiet Coil™ strat pickups beautifully capture the warmth and clarity of a ‘58 strat pickup with that extra fat low midrange associated with many of the best sounding 1958 strat pickups.
