Myles, How is it that a magnetic pickup can capture the tonality (wood resonance,hollowness or

solidness etc.)of a guitar? I thought the way a

pickup worked was that the metal string creates

a disturbance in the magnetic field which is then

transduced. It would seem as if you would need a

microphone to translate the character of the

instrument. I know this is not the case and it

occurs to me that after all the years that I've

been playing electric guitar, I still do not

understand the fundementals of how it works.
