laxa7 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 What is the difference between the first pickups and the second one. I have always wondered but never figured it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damian Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Well, from a technical standpoint, the pickups in the first pic are more suited for a two pickup guitar, and the pickup in the second pic is much more suited for a single pickup guitar................................ I state this because putting the two pickup set in a single pickup guitar would mean that one pickup would end up flopping around relicing the guitar's front.....Now, also, putting in the pickup from the second pic into a two pickup guitar would mean an empty hole which would end up gathering lint in it, which would end up building up a static charge creating a noise issue..................Just sayin'.........

Searcy Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Very good point. Also the pickups in the first picture have twice the output and are at least 75 times as shiny as the pickup in the second picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape-Fish Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I'm not too well versed in 'pup' differences, but could it be that pickups with covers have just a bit less output level, but they also produce just a bit less noise? In addition, do they not have just a little bit of a high frequency non-harmonic resonance, or a very slight loss of low end or a 'tinny' effect?

Ryan H Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 The nickel covered ones have outputs of 7.3k (neck) and 7.7k (bridge), are 4-conductor, and use Alnico 5 magnets. They also cost about $200 for the set. The uncovered one is the generic Black/Black Gibson Humbucker picture, so it could be any of their standard uncovered humbuckers.

Well, the nickel-covered ones are a Porter Classic-Classic set. The uncovered one is a generic Gibson double-black open coil humbucker image.

Cú Chulainn Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The nickel covered ones have outputs of 7.3k (neck) and 7.7k (bridge). Those numbers are resistance, not output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan H Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Those numbers are resistance, not output. We're talking with guitarists here, not pickup winders or anybody who really gives a damn. The resistance values make sense to guitarists. Impedance and resonant peak, not so much. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that resistance is an easy way to communicate "output" to the uninformed. Generally high output pickups have high resistance values. Low output pickups generally have lower resistance values. More people understand this than those who understand inductance, capacitance, impedance e.c.t. To summarize, I'm simplifying it. -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narm Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 At a first glance, i would say looks, but as said above the outputs wont' probably be the same. As for looks i like this combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
