What pickups did Jimi Hendrix use?
Jimi used stock Fender pickups that sounded different because he was left handed and he took right handed guitars and reversed the guitar and the nut and restrung the guitar that way. The sound was different because the part of the pickup that picked up the high strings would pickup the low strings. You can capture this tone by reversing your pickups.
How do you install an emg pickup on a guitar but the guitar has one pickup only?
through a guitar with passive pickups , take out the old pots (things under the knobs in the guitar) , take out the old input jack and replace them all with the new active pickup ones. After words put in all the new stuff, connect the pickups and you're done. I recommend the X series ones as they are a lot easier to do, plus once their in properly you can switch them any time you want. If its hard just pay the 50-100$ for a guitar tech to do it. Craigslist has some cheap ones.
What sound dose a bass guitares make?
Probably about the same, actually. The technology for bass guitar pickups and electric guitar pickups are very similar, with only slight differences. Still, you're going to sound better on a guitar with a guitar pickup.
What brand or type of guitar does PJ Harvey use to play Angelene?
Polly Jean Harvey usually plays a Fender Telecaster, though she's also been seen playing a Gibson Firebird and various Gibson 335-influenced semi-hollow guitars. The clean guitars on "Angelene" are very "glassy". It sounds like a guitar with low-output single-coil pickups, played through a very clean amp. Possibly the Telecaster with its neck pickup activated. A Gibson humbucker would usually have a louder sound with less treble content.
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
Would it be a good idea to make an acoustic guitar an electric by adding pickups?
I would just say let the acoustic guitar be, and buy a hollow-body electric guitar.
What number of pickups is best?
The number of pickups depends on what sound the player likes. For playing jazz, I like 2 double pickups. My rhythm guitar has 2 singles, but 1 single would be fine for me in rhythm playing.
What is a better guitar brand rj or ltd?
i think they are both good but i would personally go for the LTD purely because of the versatility of the pickups.
Would it be better to have more pick ups if you play punk rock?
No. With one exception - the Fender Strat, where three pickups is basic to the concept - no guitar needs more than 2 pickups. Extra pickups do not give more volume - cranking the amp does. Punk is heavily predicated on huge amounts of distortion and high amp volume. The truth is, any electric guitar will work fine for punk. Speaking of electric guitars in general, multiple pickups (in the sixties, four pickups was common) was instantly taken as a trademark of Chinese junk.
Would a prs style guitar kit with dragon II pickups sound close to as good as a 3000 dollar prs with dragon II pickups?
Well.....no. That guitar kit would have to have the exact same woods (and quality of that wood) for a start and I doubt you can find a guitar kit with the kind of quality woods that a 3k PRS will offer. You would have to nail other things exactly like a PRS too like finish, electronics, hardware, neck joint etc.

What would be the best pickups for a guitar in a hard core band like The Devil Wears Prada?
There are many great hardcore/metal pickups out there, but the most popular are EMG pickups and Seymour Duncans (like Blackouts, specifically). It really all depends on taste, but I'm pretty sure TDWP uses Duncans in their guitars.

Is it possible to play a guitar in space?
Certainly possible if it is an electric guitar connected through the headset you would be wearing inside your space suit. Electric guitars use electromagnetic pickups that respond to the vibrations of the strings, not to sound waves which would of course not exist in space.

How can I convert a guitar to be left-handed?
To convert a guitar to be left-handed, you would need to restring it in the opposite direction, adjust the nut and bridge to accommodate the new string arrangement, and possibly reverse the position of the pickups and controls. It's recommended to have a professional guitar technician make these modifications to ensure the guitar plays correctly.
