I know nothing about pickups lol. I do know they make a difference but I'm not sure what that difference is. Much learning left to do.

Also, pickups are not as important as the color. Make sure if you buy a pink one, it's a shade that will drive the ladies wild!!

Pretty much what I did when I got my acoustic. Just hard to find time to do so. I feel like it'd be more efficient to have an idea of what to look for at least instead of going in blind like I would be otherwise. Will likely still end up playing tons of guitars though, just for fun.

Clone...When I got my first Stratocaster...I wanted a Clapton model like DaaBears has..Its one of the more expensive assembly line guitars. (Customs are a different animal).
Everyone said buy the American made ones, and not the Mexican made ones as they aren't made as well..I found a Mexican made Strat that played nicer than the American made one..I eventually bought the American made one (but not the Clapton model) because the pickups sounded nicer..It's all player choice

Yeah when I got my acoustic I didn't think I'd be coming out with a Yamaha...that just happened to be the one that felt the best and also happened to have the best quality wood of all the guitars I tried. Similarly, I won't go to a guitar store with the mindset that I have to get a Les Paul or anything. But I'll probably start with that one first and compare all the sounds to that to see which one I like best. For all I know I could end up with a Mexican Strat too lol.
Asking about the pickups though because I want to know how they change the sound quality. This way if the guy says that this guitar has such and such pickups, I know what that means and what to expect.

The pickups sound comes from the quality of the wire and the "winds" they have inside the pickup...Wire is wound around a magnet to give the pickup its tone..each model and brand pickup is a little different depending on how its put together, and the wind's.
There are 2 basic types, a single coil, and a double coil(humbucker). A humbucker is 2 single coils laced together
Strats and Jazzmasters use single coils...The sheraton/335 uses Humbuckers, although I have a 335 with P-90's which are single coils.(special run)
Read this..It might help

Every Gibson except one that I own has Gibson "57 Classics" in for pickups...That's my pickup of choice. The 1 that doesn't have them is my main axe which is a Firebird..It has "mini humbuckers' in, which are a cross between a hum and a single coil...They look narrower than humbucker and don't have the adjustment poles either
My Strat has "Texas Special" pickups, and my Jazzmasters have standard fender single coils
DaaBears Clapton model has his own design pickups that have a boost feature in them...It's like having a distortion pedal built right in the guitar

is this your objective opinion or is it the result of your years of resentment coupled with your extreme insecurity?

Well that was a lot of physics lol. Did clarify some stuff though so thanks. From what I've read so far, it seems like humbuckers are more common these days to reduce that feedback from other objects.

I can only somewhat play the guitar...which means I cam play, like, Institutionalized or the solo from the Misfit's "We are 138".
I have however rewired my brother's guitars--put in some active pickups (Duncan destroyers), changed the picup selector to something a bit more substantual, and changed out the volume knob to a heavy duty switch, along with relocations of switches when they'd interfere with his playing style (lefty strung righty).

So he plays a lefty guitar with the strings strung as if it were a righty guitar? As if you took a righty guitar and tried to play it lefty? Interesting...
That's how it sounds to me anyway.
