	Humbucker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A conventional humbucker (or Humbucking pickup) is a type of electric guitar pickup that uses two coils, both generating string signal.
		Humbuckers have high output since both coils are in series and because the magnetic circuit is low loss.
		The first "humbucker" or humbucking pickup was the so-called PAF invented by Seth Lover, a Gibson employee, in the 1950s.

	Humbucker
		Humbuckers do not have this problem, because they consists of two standard magnetic pickups (singlecoil) wired out of phase.
		This also gives the humbucker a fatter tone, and the first choice in rock and heavy metal music.
		The original magnetic pickup, the singlecoil, is often used in country, pop and other "lighter" kinds of music where you want a more twangy tone.

		A type of guitar pickup where two coils of wire and two magnets are used, as opposed to a "single coil" pickup.
		The humbucker is made so the two coils of wire are out of polarity with each other and each is wound around a magnet of opposite polarity.
		Humbucking pickups are known for a certain type of "thicker," heavier sound and aren't preferred by guitarists in all situations.

	Splitting the humbucker
		Humbuckers have a certain tone and resonant frequency which is different to the straightforward single coil pickup, a single coil will typically have a more trebly output.
		One method of extending the range of a guitar is to modify the wiring of humbuckers to enable them to work both as a single coil and as the original humbucker.
		Thus on a two pickup guitar the output from a standard humbucker may be mixed with the single coil pickup to give a variety of sounds.

	GuitarNuts.com - Humbucker Switching
		Splitting (single coil): One coil is shorted out (if humbucker is wired for parallel operation the circuit to one end of one coil is broken -- this tends to be susceptible to noise).
		Splitting "soft" humbuckers tends to result in a very weak single-coil sound similar to the wimpy pickups on the very cheap Asian Strats.
		Phasing the two coils: The ability to put the two coils of the humbucker out of phase with each other is even less useful than the ability to put two pickups out of phase with each other.

		The goal was to make a set of humbucking pickups for an es175 jazz electric style guitar that I have just about finished.
		Since it isn't a heavy metal guitar that I was shooting for I wanted some pickups that were a bit milder and cleaner then the Super Distortion Pickups.
		By the way, PAF is a well known term meaning "Patent Applied For".That was put on some of the first Gibson humbucking pickups before the 60's meaning that the Gibson company applied for the patent but have not actually received it yet.

		Im allgemeinen ist der Output des Humbuckers größer als der eines Singlecoils, was wegen der erhöhten Ansteuerung leichter zu einem Übersteuern des Verstärkers und damit zu Verzerrungen führt.
		Auch kann bei einem normalem Humbucker durch sogenanntes "coil splitting" einer der Single coils aus der Signalkette abgetrennt werden, wodurch dann der andere Single Coil allein als Tonabnehmer fungiert und auch das Klangbild eines Single Coil wiedergibt.

	A humming humbucker
		Humbuckers, by nature, have a higher output than single coils, and while humbuckers are "quieter" than traditional single coils, they're not always as quiet as "noiseless" pickups.
		So that in possition 4 when the humbucker is coil tapped, the active coil balances with the middle pickup.
		It is a compromise because half of your humbucker is not equal to a typical bridge single coil.

		You, certainly can add a humbucker to your guitar, (it's a fairly common set up to have one in the bridge possition) but you're either going to have to learn a lot about specific pups or talk to a qualified tech.
		Things like the type of magnet used and the number of wraps, (amount of wire used on the pickup) will determine how "hot" the pup is. You don't want to drop a pup in that's going to drown out the others, or be drowned out.

	Bridge Unbucker
		First, in guitars where a single coil pickup is combined with a humbucker, the humbucker is often split so that only one of its coils is actually combined with the single coil.
		So a typical 8K humbucker would have one of its 4K coils combined with the single coil, which is typically closer to 6K.
		His rewinding experience has shown that older Gibson pickups were inconsistently wound, and he believes this contributes to their tonal appeal (this argument is supported by the belief held by many people that scatter-winding pickup coils produces pickups with better tone than winding a coil with nice even wraps would: the inconsistency enhances the tone).
