Single coill humbuckers

[Bellyheart]

Out of curiosity, what is the difference in sound between single coil humbuckers and actual humbuckers if they were the same model? For instance the Seymour Duncan JBs

[Blurillaz]

The single coil size ones should be brighter, since they don't pick up as wide an area as a normal size humbucker.
Does that explanation make sense?

[Chumley]

Brighter, but barely.

dunno about sound but I would've never thought having three humbuckers would look so gay :/

[Blurillaz]

Actually, if they're the same model, the company may create the two completely different, and make the single coil size version incredibly muddy for a single coil, to get more of a humbucking sound...

nooo it looks cooooooool (that's a salesman impression)

Never understood the three humbuckers. Brightness is what I like.
