A skint guitarist knocking out covers in a boozer for a bit of extra cash, and who cannot afford to buy his dream has to make do and make his axe sound to what is needed but i do take your point!!!

I must be a pro then having more than one axe, but I still think Mick Ronson was impressive on the Telecaster when he played those old Ziggy Stardust riffs

Great guitarist, but there is a big old blade in the bridge of his tele, not a single coil.

Single blade = single coil.

An excellent guitarist, and a big influence on future players who were trying to escape from the shadows of prog rock

PICKUP TYPES
In the grand scheme of things, there are only two basic types of electric guitar pickups: single-coil and humbucking. A single-coil pickup generally consists of a coil of wire wrapped around a bobbin surrounding either individual pole pieces for each string or a single, continuous blade that extends across all of the strings.

My apologies, I thought we were still on the pick-ups Yeah, people like Ronson, and bands such as T Rex, Mott the Hoople, New York Dolls & The Stooges influenced the Punk Rock generation, which brought about the demise of the 20 minute guitar solo, although some guitarists couldn't let go completely!

So what guitars have you got in your collection, anything interesting?

Prap's we can drag you sreamin' and kickin' into the 2020's.
Have youse never heard of P90s?
They are halfway between single coil and humbucker pickups. They have a higher output than single coil pickups, but note the output of humbuckers. Their tone has a bit more depth than your standard single coil, but not to the extent of humbuckers.
Prepare to be educated, mush

Oh, yeah!
Remember I told you I had recently bought the Yamaha 620 Brickburstt and the 820 Rusty Rat?
Check out this comparison with yesterdays Les Pauls and make up ya own mind..



No contest in my opinion

I'm gassing for a LP Junior or SG with P90s, but they are single coil pickups

Here is some guitar porn to tide you through until Jools Holland comes on! This is more or less my taste in guitars and amps, single coil or humbucker

Humbuckers work by pairing a coil that has the north poles of its magnets oriented "up" (toward the strings) with another coil right next to it with the south pole of its magnets oriented up. By connecting the coils together out of phase, the interference is significantly reduced via phase cancellation: the string signals from both coils add up instead of canceling, because the magnets are placed in opposite polarity. The coils can be connected in series or in parallel in order to achieve this hum-cancellation effect, although it's much more common for the coils of a humbucker pickup to be connected in series
