The best example would be a Stratocaster. I got my first one when I was playing with Tony Williams, and I couldn’t intonate the thing. On the low E I’d get this wobble. But it was just the '''pickup'''s sucking on the string, because when I put a couple of PAF humbuckers on it the problem went away completely. Then I realized that the older Gibsons that I liked the sound of so much had really weak '''pickup'''s. So, sometimes I’ll use a booster pedal to bring up the gain and push the front end of an amp a little harder. | The best example would be a Stratocaster.
