Is it a good idea to purchase used guitar pickups?
Buying used guitar pickups is something you want to be really careful about. Unless you know the person selling the pickups, and the guitar it (or they) used to be on, it may not be wise to buy them. If the previous user is just changing them because he wants something different, that's one thing, but do you know why he is changing his pickups? Did one go bad for some reason? Unless you know about the condition and quality of the pickups, it may be best to spend the extra money on new pickups.
Why does the tone of a guitar change when you switch through different pickups?
The tone of a guitar changes as you switch through from lower down pickups to higher up pickups because the guitar strings themselves sound different depending on how close to the center (deep, mellow tones) or to the end (harsh, high-pitched tones with little bass) you strike the strings. This is directly related to the strings vibrating with more side-to-side movement in the middle than they can near the saddle where the grooves in the saddle restrain side-to-side movement.

Can you use acoustic strings on an electric resonator guitar?
sure go for it , I mean they're just made of copper on the exterior. I used folk music guitar strings wound with silver and silk inside of them on a death metal guitar for a laugh and it worked fine. those strings where called silk and steel by D'Addario the only concern would be if you've got pickups on that guitar because bronze wouldn't pick up as much sound through the pickups magnets as steel or nickel
