yeah but it never really happens unless you really beat the guitar up and we're talking throw it off a speeding truck or something out of a movie.
they can can unwind which is rare unless you take the guitar apart .. but for the most part as long as the connection is there you've got nothing to worry about unless by some extreme accident it snaps in half or something crazy like that.

You may have to route a new hole in your guitar to fit the pickup you want inserted, or have it done for you professionally (Advisable!!). Put the pickup in place and wire it to the volume pot, which should connect to the tone pot and then to the output jack of the guitar. Alternatively, if there is space, usually if you have a higher action on your guitar, you could simply screw the pickup to the body/pick guard and the wire it up (or the other way round).

A single coil pickup can possibly work with a break in the copper, but usually there will be a problem with the sound in some way i.e. weak or cutting in and out.

What are the strings on a guitar?
Standard tuning they would be E,A,D,G,B,E. In terms of the strings themselves(measured in standard thickness) they would be but not limited .012,.016,.024,.032,.044,.056. There are different tuning as well as different thicknesses of strings. If you are talking about what the strings do, well that's a little different. On an electric guitar, these magnetic strings pass over the pickup. When a string vibrates it "messes" with the magnetic Field that the pickup produces. This signal is fed to an amp and is amplified and sound is produced. In an acoustic, the string vibrates and produces sound waves that in turn make the guitar body vibrate. This vibration is what we hear when a guitar is played.
