I'm no expert on the specific sonic differences between the two, but in simple terms, single coils are "twangier" sounding and have less output than humbuckers. Humbuckers are typically fuller sounding and higher output. Humbuckers are most common for rock and metal. I prefer humbuckers in my guitars cuz i play mostly metal and hard rock. But there are no limitations...some of the best blues players use humbuckers and some of the best metal players use single coils. Please would somebody more articulate than me explain this better...
