"In general, single-coils are noisier and glassier (have more shimmer in their high-end) than humbuckers.  That makes them great for blues and funk (and most "clean" tones), but poor for hard rock and metal, where their high-end shimmer makes for a gritty sounding distortion.  In contrast, humbuckers sound very nasal when used in a clean tone."

 

How's that?

What about those of us that use strats with HS-3 pickups? I have 4 strats and all are loaded with HS-3's except my 62 reissue; It has YJM fury's in it. They are, however also "stacked" pickups
