Rock - Medium output Humbucker pickups (250-300 output)
Metal - High output humbuckers
(you have choices if you want more harmonics or bass, mid or treble hump.)
Dimarzio dot com has a COOL way to help you here. Sometimes you have to consider the wood of your guitar.
Blues/Jazz/Clean - Low output pickups (single coils), some sc pups have special characteristics such as noiseless (humbucker mock-up but sounds single coil)
thank you sir, further question lang po,how bout the brand of pickups, ang alam ko po kasi,may specific na brand ng pickups na good for mid,good for treble and as well bass, hindi ko po kasi alam which brand to choose...thanks again.
walang specific na brand, each specific brand (Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan, etc.) ay may type of pickup for your individual needs.
If I may ask you, anong tunog ba hanap mo sir. Basing everything sa tunog ng guitar mo using stock pickups, ano ba ung kulang kaya gusto mo magupgrade ng pickups? Kulang/sobra ba sa treble? Kulang/sobra ba sa bass? Kulang/sobra ba sa mid? bitin ba ung output? bitin ba ung harmonics? If you have this information, you can go to the website of the pickups manufacturer then tingnan mo ung ung tonechart na nandun. It will also help you to read the description of each pickup type.
Other questions that will help us, ano ba body ng guitar mo? mahogany? basswood? What bridge is installed? naka-floyd rose ba or fixed bridge?
