Q: What kind of pickups do you have on your Les Paul Custom? - from Robert

A: I have Seymour Duncan pick-ups on the Les Paul.

Q: You mention in an answer to a previous question that "the Strat has single coil humbuckers". Care to be more specific? I understand if you do not endorse a particular brand, but I read in an earlier interview with you that at some point you were having problems with single coil pickups and how they were interacting with radio transmitters that are used for lighting, etc. I was wondering if you had alleviated that problem with a particular pickup? - From Bill 

A: I am still using the same pick-ups and yes they are noisy by nature. But they do sound better than anything else I have tried. One has to adapt to the sound which sometimes means moving to a different position. Might well explain why I do so often. 

Q: What kind of pickups do you use on your Strat? - From Pat 

A: The Strat has single coil humbuckers. 

Q: In your opinion, which one produces the best sound for classical guitar, an active or passive pick up? Are there any advantages of one over the other? - Lois 

A: I think an active pickup on the bridge is best for an acoustic. 

Q: I play a classical Conde Hermanos, which is similar to your Rodriguez, my questions is very simple: what pickup do you use in that guitar? - from Antonio 

A: I would sell my mother before I would put a pick-up on the Rodriguez. For big live shows I use a 'Paloma' Guild electro-nylon acoustic. I think these are the closest one can get the real sound.
