| Re: Guitar color? "Active" PU's have their own power source (batteries) which kills the natural 60 cycle hum of the single coil pickups.

| Re: Guitar color? Do you know why some fender's have the pickup near the bridge a little bit inclined? Is it just style or it has to be with the sound.

| Re: Guitar color? I think Leo just thought it sounded better that way. A reason might be that with the larger diameter strings, you have to get the pickup pole further away from the "zero" point (bridge) in order to get it into the area where string vibration can be sensed. That's just a wag, however.

| Re: Guitar color? I always thought it was because the tone would sound better at the back if it were turned that way. The pickup poles could pick up more bass from the low strings, and more treble from the higher ones... perhaps giving it an unique tone. |
