That's sweet. As long as it sounds like real humbuckers, don't bother adding a humbucker. They're not always worth the money, IMO. Did I tell you i got rid of my Tele?? I traded it in and picked up a Jaguar and a Univox Hi-Flyer in exchange. I'll just post a pic of the pedalboard sometime, because I'm too lazy to write out all of the names of the effects. lol

That's awesome.... what college course is it?

I'm not sure exactly how close it sounds to a real one, but it does sound a lot more like Edge when he uses guitar with humbuckers...

That's about as detailed as I can get lol

That's cool!!!

I was figuring that...

I signed up a bit late, so my only option was Public Speaking.... which I am loving.

It's actually easier than many of my school classes lol.

It counts as both a college credit, and an honors class, so that's awesome as well

Well, to be completely honest, humbuckers aren't always as great as people say they are. Sometimes they can be a little too screechy for my taste. But, I'm usually playing second guitar, so I prefer a more "thumpy" sound. My friend Aaron, who plays lead guitar, loves them though. They're great for soloing, but not for power chords, etc.

Public speaking is always a fun class. That's great that it counts for Honors and college.

I noticed that with Breathe...

Overall, I think that they sound better than single coils... but you are right on about the power chords, et al.

I love it lol... we get to read diction papers out loud at the end of class!

Which is more fun that it sounds lol

I'm thinking about doing my speech to inform on U2 (seriously)

That will be awesome, but they won't be able to get me to shut up!

I actually prefer single coils for rhythm. Basically, when I've recorded songs that I've written, I'll do one track with my single coil guitars, and then I'll add another track of just the solo, and that's usually played on one of my humbucker guitars.

That would be great to do a speech on U2. I did one a while back, and it went great. It's definitely not a boring subject.

If I were to record something, I would do something similar... but on a ridiculous level

Like, play the song with single coils, then add the same thing on top of that, but with humbuckers

That's awesome!

I can't wait... and I won't need to waste any time on research!

What shall I use for a visual aid though? I'm thinking maybe a poster or a t-shirt... I would set up their discography, but I don't have physical copies of everything... any suggestions?
