+A **pickup** is a transducer, often found on string instruments like the electric guitar, that converts mechanical vibrations into an electrical signal. This signal, generated through electromagnetic induction, is then amplified to produce sound, allowing an instrument's unique voice to be heard through an [Amplifier](/wiki/amplifier). Different designs, such as single-coil or [Humbuckers](/wiki/humbucker), offer distinct sonic characteristics.
