Single-coil pickups and dual-coil pickups
(humbuckers) convert your guitar’s string vibrations
into an electronic signal that is processed by your
amplifier.
Selector switches are used to quickly change
between pickups or combinations of pickups.
Typically switches are 3-way slotted, 5-way slotted
or 3-way toggled. Series selections, typically
found on humbucker models, combine two coils of
full output. Parallel selections combine two coils
to simulate a single coil while acting as a hum-
canceling humbucker. Some guitars feature a push-
pull volume control in place of a switch that allows
for single pickup selections.
