A guitar pickup is a device installed on an electric or acoustic guitar that captures the vibrations of the strings and converts them into an electrical signal. This signal can then be amplified and processed to produce sound through an amplifier. Pickups are essential for electric guitars, as they do not produce much sound acoustically and rely on pickups to be heard at performance levels. There are several types of guitar pickups, each with unique characteristics:

Single-Coil Pickups, Humbucker Pickups, P90 Pickups,  Acoustic Pickups

A pickup plays a significant role in shaping the tone and character of a guitar, allowing musicians to select pickups that best suit their playing style and genre preferences.
