I've played 3 guitars through the same amp. Each guitar change should be obvious from the sound of plugging/unplugging. But it's roughly:

00:00 - 01:04 - Guitar #1

1:04 - 01:56 - Guitar #2

1:56 - 3:06 - Guitar #3

Just curious which pickups you prefer and why.

Thanks.

#2...
Clearer, more defined notes when playing chords.

I like 3,1, then 2.

2 - Best overall tone.

2,3,1

Bit of a toss-up between 2 and 3, but 2 is slightly more pleasing to my ears.

3 sounded best to me.

The first one had a broader range of tone. A little deeper and a little brighter.

#2 for me. To me the tone somehow seemed more pure. Some Guitars seem to pair well with an amp and there's often no explanation to it lol
