Not true for over-driven.....
Blues players also use humbuckers.....
They produce a very warm tone for those kind of music.

And contrary to popular believe, I DO play clean music......

Yeah man.. people stereotype hums too much. country musicians also use a lot of LP and archtops with hums. And a clean hum provides a good rhythm sound too. thumbup.gif

hmm intresting....i personally find humbuckers not humming hehe..i find the sound sharp...n erm...strong...so i only use them for solos...but not when strumming...as i play more rythm i normally use the middle n the bridge....not too sure about the 3 way switch...havent tried any guitar tat has 3 way switch.

i was thinkin of lookin for a cheap epi LP over at uk if im goin this sept...so still thinkin if single coils are better or 2 hums...

i remember testin out a godin at guitar store....its has 3 singles if not wrong ..n it sounds very er.. "creamy"? very diff from my cheap samick...which i asked how much would it cost to get a new set of pick ups..n the price could get me another samick...eeks

ANOTHER EPI converter!! come this Way! heherr.. anyway my heart was torn between the Godin and the Sheraton actually but after I tried the Godin it sounded much like a tele and I've already got that one. but it does sond really good especially the sig model which has an acoustic pickup! SWEET!
