A humbucker, humbucking pickup, or double coil, is a guitar pickup that uses two wire coils to cancel out noisy interference from coil pickups. Humbucking coils are also used in dynamic microphones to cancel electromagnetic hum. Humbuckers are one of two main types of guitar pickups. The other is single coil.
Modern: 1) neck pickup only, with no treble cutoff; 2) neck and bridge; 3) bridge pickup only. The Fender Esquire has a variation to the Vintage wiring scheme by using the scheme on a single pickup. This gives a treble cutoff in the first position, normal in the middle position, and a tone control cutoff in the third position.
Humbuckers: Two coils work together to reduce noise and give a thicker sound. Split coil pickups : Found on certain bass guitars, these have two separate coils, each "listening" to different strings. For example, on a bass with four strings, one coil handles the lower two strings, and the other handles the higher two.
