How many pickups do most electric guitars?
2 pickups
Can you convert an acquistic guitar in to an electric?
Well, you can install one of several different kinds of pickups in an acoustic guitar, and then you'll have an acoustic-electric. Passive pickups, like piezo-electric pickups, just sense the vibration of the body of the guitar and sound more natural. Magnetic pickups, like most "soundhole" pickups, are built more like electric-guitar pickups and sense the string vibration. They tend to sound like hollow-body electric guitars. You can mount a standard electric pickup, tone controls, etc. into an acoustic guitar, of course... Some of the earliest "electrics" were made that way.
What kind of guitars does Axl manufacture?

What types of pickups are used on an electric guitar?
Magnetic PickupsMagnetic pickups only respond to steel strings. When the string is plucked, alternating current is induced in a coil of wrapped wire. There are two main types of magnetic pickups: single coil and humbucker. Single coils are susceptible to interference from other electrical equipment and may produce a feedback loop. Humbuckers are designed with two opposing coils which cancels out interfering noise. Most guitars used a combination of two or three electric pickups. For example, Fender Telecasters and Fender Stratocasters use multiple single coils, while Gibson Les Pauls use multiple humbuckers. Each combination has a unique sound. Piezoelectric PickupsTraditionally used on acoustic instruments, these pickups are becoming more common on electric guitars. They work with any kind of string. Piezo pickups will not hum or cause feedback loops because they do not pick up interfering magnetic fields. However, they have a completely different sound than magnetic pickups. Some guitars use a combination of piezo and magnetic to create a blended sound.
What would be the best pickups for a guitar in a hard core band like The Devil Wears Prada?

Where can you find pickups to squire precision basses?
Most electric guitar and bass companies will have replacement pickups for fender basses. You can use any passive precision bass pickups to replace the ones found in your squier. Seymour Duncan always makes decent replacement pickups for a reasonable price. I've used many auction sites to procure lightly used or new pickups for repairs.
How do you adjust electric guitar pickups?
The screws around them adjust the height of them on most guitars. The closer to the strings, the more the pickup resonates the strings vibration. The further away from the strings, the less the pickup can resonates the strings vibration. If you have one pickup sounding louder than the other, move a pickup closer or further away from the strings to produce a better volume balance of the pickups.
