''what is the energy transformation of the the guitar?

The energy transformation takes place at the pick-ups of a guitar, and the transformation is sound (pressure) to electric. If you are referring to an acoustic guitar, however, the transformation could be better described as Kinetic and Potential energy (the strumming motion) into sound (pressure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Supervisor here. I really hope I am misunderstanding your' answer but if you are saying that sound waves affect the pickups then you are not correct. The initial energy source are your fingers picking a string. You put potential energy in the string at this point. Now the strings take over and, with the energy you gave them, affect the magnetic field that the pickups are generating with their back and forth movement. The next part is really long winded so I'll give you the simple conclusion. Now you have a signal going to the amp. The amp controls the power going to the speakers with this signal.

Can you change single coil pickups to double coil pickups?

While it is possible to route the guitar to accommodate a full sized humbucker, the easiest way is to get a single coil sized humbucker. Many of these "side by side" single coil size humbuckers have a sound somewhere between a single coil and a humbucker, or sound very similar to mini humbuckers. However, almost all companies who sell these pickups have a model designed to sound exactly like a real humbucker. From Seymour Duncan's Lil'59 to Dimarzio's Super Distortion S, there are many to chose from. These pickups should require no routing, and if they do, it will be very minor.

What are the pros and cons of Single coils on an electric guitar?

pros they tend to be less noisy being the #1 sales pitch they are low in output so if you make any mistakes they aren't really amplified as much as on a humbucker cheaper to get one single coil than say a name brand humbucker cons for metal they aren't going to cut it unless you have a gain pedal or distortion in conclusion ... if you want a really versatile guitar don't worry about pickups people believe that if you switch the pickups you'll get an extremely different sound and it's not true. I highly suggest a guitar processor instead it costs the same as a name brand say humbucker but you get much better results.
