Guitar Cables Coiled
What is the difference in sound between single coil pickups and humbuckers?
guiatr received recently. I have a Squier Start that came in a single package with amp cable, etc. I know tha tis has single coil pickups. When I get another guitar (if I do), I should start with humbcuekrs or single coil pickups? What is the difference sound between the two? Thanks.
It really depends on your taste: people usually think of single-coil guitars sound like more "clear" and "bright" are considered as humbucker sound more "warm" and "fat". Depending on the type of music you play, you may prefer one over another. The way the humbucker is designed (two coils of opposing polarity next to each other) makes it less likely to pick up electromagnetic interference, as power lines, loudspeakers, amplifiers, mobile phones, computer screens, etc.. Electromagnetic interference often causes single-coil pickups of hum ... then the humbucker that "bucks", the "buzz" ... understand? 
The famous Gibson Les Paul uses a humbucker pickup ... As a result, Many people associate the sound of guitars with a humbucker Les Paul. Moreover, Fender Telecaster and Stratocasters use different combinations of single coil pickups multiple (Tele 2 in 3 in the Start menu), and they are very well known for its excellent sound. Having multiple single-coil pickups allow almost behave like guitar humbucker (With opposite polarity to prevent noise from electromagnetic interference), but leaving the guitarist to individually adjust each coil leaves the sound be customized on the spot. I recommend you spend some time in a guitar store to try out their options (or if you have friends who collect guitars, camp out on her couch, with guitars) and go with what best fits your style and taste.
