Feedback is more a function of body than pickup design. I have a LP and a hollow body equipped with the same pickups. The LP can't compete with the HB in a match for feedback. Acoustics too provide a lot of feedback when they have a pickup in them. What model of guitar do you have? Let me know and I'll try to help you.

How can you enhance guitar feedback?

First off you need an electric guitar plugged into an amp that's turned up about halfway or so. Turn on the overdrive channel & crank it up. Go face the amplifier and feedback should occur (the closer you get to the amp the more feedback should occur). Turn up the treble on your amps controls, Or buy higher powered pickups for your guitar. Oh yeah watch your ears!!! lol Gook Lucd...

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.


My guitar amp is making an annoying whistling sound?

It's probably feedback. When you play a note on your guitar, it's picked up by the pickups and amplified by the amp. If you're too close to the amp, the pickups will pick up the amplified sound and it will get amplified again and again. Try moving farther away from the amp. If that doesn't help, make sure all the electrical connections in your guitar are connected properly (double check the output jack.)

What is the difference between ancient and modern guitar?

Probably the pickups. Earlier guitars have single coil pickups which give a little more feedback in overdrive, but newer guitars have humbuckers that improve on less feedback and better tone and clarity. That's if the guitars are electric. If they were acoustic, the changes would probably be lesser. Maybe just changes in structure that would have a better sound overall than earlier versions.
