	Response Effects of Guitar Pickup Position and Width
		One is the fact that magnetic pickups respond to the change in magnetic field, and thus the velocity and not the displacement of the string.
		As far as the pickup is concerned, the effects of the nodes and antinodes are due to the wavelength on the string and not whether the string vibration is a due to a fretted fundamental or a harmonic.
		The pickup position numbers are measured off of my personal guitar, the neck pickup position is adjusted 0.125 inch to be exactly 1/4 the scale length and I'm ignoring the fact that the bridge pickup is mounted on a slant and just using an average position for it.

	Guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rickenbacher was the inventor of the horseshoe-magnet pickup.
		Pickups work on a similar principle to a generator in that the vibration of the strings causes a small current to be created in the coils surrounding the magnets.
		Archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually using thicker strings (higher gauged round wound and flat wound) than acoustic guitars.

	Vintage Guitars Info - Fender vintage guitar pickup specs, info
		The two Humbucking pickups are combined in parallel (even though the two coils of each pickup are in series), thus giving the average of the two pickups divided by two.
		A lot of the sound of old Fender pickups is due to the random layering and variable winding tension of the wire, which effects the tone.
		You should do the Ohm test right at the pickup leads, and to do it right, have one lead disconnected from the circuit (but please don't desolder any vintage guitar pickup leads!) Also the position of the pickup switch can effect values too, as can your fingers if they are touching the meter's probes.

	Adam Kumpf @ MIT
		That's 6 pickups in all), and a Fender Stratocaster.
		The half of the pickup with tape (or glue or putty) will be the part that sticks to wood on the inside of the guitar (see Figure 4).
		Typically, the closer the pickup is to the bridge, the warmer the sound.

	Pickup Wiring Modification for Brian May Guitar: Series to Parallel Mod (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Figure 1: In this figure three pickups are wired in parallel (all of the pickup inputs are connected together, and all of the outputs are connected together).
		Anyway, the point is that when pickups are wired in series some of the high frequencies are lost because the signal has to travel through twice as much pickup wire to reach the amplifier.
		Basically, having the bridge pickup in parallel with the both the middle and neck pickups (which are in phase and in series with each other) seems to cancel the hum.

	Guitar Wiring Site
		A guitar pickup is the reverse of this whereby we start with a magnet and wrap a huge amount of wire around it (thousands of turns, usually).
		The closer the 2 pickups are, the greater the cancellations, the thinner the sound and the lesser the volume.
		In the guitar cavity, unsolder the 2 bridge pickup leads; solder the phase switch "Out" leads to the exact same spot where the pickup leads were; solder the bridge pickup leads to the "From Pickup" terminals on the phase switch.

		Pickups could be wound with various alloys that are insulated such as aluminum, gold, silver, molybdenum, tantalum, titanium and tungsten.
		Determining the age of various guitars and pickup models can be difficult; knowing the approximate age of the instrument can determine the specifications on pickups made during that time frame.
		They pickups are mounted to the solid body guitar by two wood screws that are located between the A and D and the G and B poles.

	Acoustic Pickup Comparisons
		Your guitar, your choice of amplification, how loud you play, the type of music, and so on, will all have a major impact, and these aspects often matter far more than the pickup itself.
		Each guitar is recorded using a pair of Neumann TLM103 microphones and simultaneously recorded with a pickup.
		I've made every effort to be sure the pickups were installed correctly (when I installed them myself), but it is always possible that some pickup installations will sound different than others (Some pickups are very sensitive to placement, and can sound different with even the smallest change in position).

	Some pickup advice. - StoneDragon's Guitar Discussion Forum
		Pickup mfg's disguise this midrange problem by saying the pickup has a lot of punch and a lot of body.
		I had the pickups rewired recently but the litle fl things on the side to help screw the puckups in where broken off (manly becuse I took the thing apart not nowing what I was doing) and now when I plug in, the amp hums trumendusly.
		There should be 1 wire from each pickup that goes to the back of the volume, a wire from the output jack that goes to the back of the volume, and a jumper from each control pot to the other.

	Electric Guitar Review
		This guitar was GOTW #21, and it features a body & neck of solid mahogany, a rosewood fretboard, unique Fireburst finish, a trio of Blade-type single-coil pickups, and a 6-way rotary pickup selector with an old-shool fl chicken head knob.
		Eastwood’s rendition of the Stratotone, known officially as the Airline H44 DLX, sees the single pickup of the original replaced by a shiny new pair of mini-humbuckers, and gone too is the neck-through-body design––reworked with a much more adjustable and reliable set maple neck.
		The Firebird Studio is Gibson’s Guitar Of The Week #24, and it looks like a beauty, but unfortunately, as has happened on a few earlier occasions, the specs on Gibson’s product page for this instrument don’t seem to match up very well with the photo.

	Schatten Dualie Acoustic Soundboard Pickup
		When we designed the "Dualie" pickup approximately eight years ago it was designed to be used on acoustic and classical guitars.......And then a funny thing happened: musicians discovered that they could stick the Dualie onto just about anything and that it worked and sounded great.
		The "Dualie" is a twin element surface mount piezo pickup.
		This pickup has been designed to operate properly and sound terrific without the use of a preamp if you are running into any 'normal' amp (guitar amp, bass amp, etc.).

		Due to PURE GUITAR’s location on the bridge plate under the bridge, feedback resistance is comparable to undersaddle transducers.
		Technically, a pickup installed in or on the bridge is a lot less likely to feedback than one which is attached to the open sound board.
		In KandK Sound's tests with both steel string and classic guitars equipped with an undersaddle pickup plus the PURE system, they were able to achieve about the same gain-before-feedback with both systems.

		I will re-otimize the pickup setting at some point in the future but for the time being it is already pretty much spot on.
		I had been playing Godin/Brian Moore guitars for a comparison and I think I have to say that the RMC pickups and the GK-3 have very similar performance.
		Considering that the alternative guitars cost a LOT of money this pickup is fantastic value.
