Gibson Hollow Body Electric Guitar
Will changing pickups in a hollow body guitar reduce feedback?
I have a Univox Coily, it’s a copy of the Gibson 335. It is full hollow body electric guitar and when I turn the volume up on my amp, especially with high gain, I get tons of feedback that I can’t get rid of, even if I hold the strings. Is this simply because the guitar is a hollow body guitar? Or can I eliminate the feedback by putting new pickups in it?
If you don’t already have them, its possible that potted pickups will help. Basically, a potted pickup is one in which the coils are encased in a material (usually wax) to reduce feedback. The feedback I’m talking about here is like the feedback you’d get from a microphone, and that sounds like what you may be dealing with. No guarantees, but if you have the ability to try them with an option to return if they don’t fix the problem it’s worth considering.
