I used to love humbuckers on tele's, or les pauls. Basically I wanted my guitar to have as much output as possible, the idea being I could be expressive with my picking and general playing style and still be plenty loud. But after buying that Danelectro Dead-on Baritone, I'm convinced lower output pickups on offset guitars are the best for fuzz.
And it makes a huge difference, when I played with an SM using my friend's super fancy vintage les paul it sounded exactly like what i was looking for thick, thick fuzz-monsters from space. Then I tried it on my guitar at home, which has higher output pickups, and I got this weird octave up thing goin' on, which was cool, but not what I was looking for. So yeah, I'm positive that guitars make a difference.
Has anyone tried running a guitar with a resonator body through fuzz? I think it would be like whale sounds...but deadly
It all depends...I was jamming with my JM into my newly upgraded cosmichorus and plugged in the skreddy ?lady and emerged in a daze deaf blind and dumb a few hours later. Towards the end I plugged in my US/synth mangler (two of my favorite pedals with humbuckers) and just kinda shrugged, unplugged and ate a snack and watched modern family.
I want a giant bunny and I want a bunch of regular bunnies and they will form a hive mind and the giant bunny will be the queen bunny and they will attack in swarms.

I only play an SG so would have to agree, never really liked single coil guitars bar SGs with P90s.
