crust Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 I occasionally see the term "hot mini humbuckers" to describe the working aspects of particular Electric guitar pickups. Without me looking over the internet, can anyone explain what "hot" actually means,"the hottest pickups". Hmmm, sounds like a lady.... Why do I (or do I not) want "hot" humbucking (or any other type of "hot" pickups) in my electric guitar ? This is an area of electric guitars that I have no knowledge of.
Rabs Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Hot usually refers to the output of the pickups (the volume) and I think it works with more winds on the pickup equals hotter output... You would not want hot pickups if you want more mellow sounds from your guitar.. You WOULD want hot pickups if you play metal or 80s rock type stuff (that's a generalisation)...
