single coil
One-wound magnetic sensor
A single coil is a type of guitar pickup using one magnet wrapped in wire, producing a bright, clear tone with distinctive twang.
Single coils are associated with Fender Stratocasters and Telecasters and define genres from country to surf rock.
They're prone to picking up electromagnetic interference, creating a characteristic hum that double-coil humbuckers were designed to eliminate: The single coil gives you that classic Hendrix sound.
