	I was wondering if anyone could explain just how the pickups in 
an electric guitar work?  I understand the electromagnetic theory behind 
them. 
	I'm looking for practical information on the sort of voltages
that amplifiers expect to see, impedance of a guitar, what are active
pickups, how are the pickups oriented?

	I'd appreciate any responses either posted or mailed whatever you
prefer.



Thanks
