How does beef sound?
I'm looking into new pickups. Now I stumbled on a pickup that has a beefy sound, they say. So how will it sound? Does beef have a lot a mid? Low? Or has beef a nice clear high tone? Or does beef have it all? Or should I ask the butcher?

I'm starving, so anything sounds delicious right now..
"Beefy" generaly means "full bodied", think high gain humbucker through a Marshall stack as opposed to a single coil through a Fender twin...

Like a Les Paul through a Marshall.
Humbuckers, as Karen pointed out.

So a beefy humbucker is, like wet water, a pleonasm........

No, you can get thin sounding humbuckers and some that are so bass loaded they're almost unuseable (I have one like that on a cheap LP copy). That "beefy" sound is specifically a mid to high gain humbucker through a Marshall stack that gives plenty of mid/high clarity for soloing but shakes the glass out of the windows with palm muted power chord "chugging"

An other beefy sound is a 1962 Strat neck pickup driving a 1964 Fender Twin with the Volume knob turned up to 7.
10 is too beefy but 7 can work... if the speakers don't come flying out of the grill to fast.
Here's an example on a 1963 Fender Showman;
It doesn't sound so beefy on TV but if you were in the room you'd know where the beef was.
A decade later musicians had gotten a lot better at squeezing the beef into the TV.
all the best,
mike

If you buy the same pups in Tescos, they sound slightly more 'horsey'

It has a, let's say, thicker, more fuller flavor sound than, let's say, becon.
Of course, there may be others who may know more about this than I do...

It is term that came about back when Steely Dan
released a tune that had a chord that was called
the...moo major.
I imagine somebody was told about the chord then
forgot what it was called and said something like...I use to
know what it was called and it sounded beefy.
"Beefy" is a powerful sound dialed in with a good amp that
has a pickup that is capable of delivering a full range of clear tones.
Then with a good eq one can dial in most any sound they're capable of dialing in.
Contrary to what some believe it is a sound that can be made with single coil pups too.
I've heard some good guitars sound like sh!t because of bad amps.
I've also heard some good guitars with good amps sound bad because the player didn't
know how to adjust the pups or the wrong caps were killing the pups.
"Beefy" is more than just the pups IMO. YMMV

Well, I figured pictures would help. I don't think anyone really understood my "Before, abominable. After, noble." joke...
