First, a humbucker looks like two single coil pickups wrapped together. Essentially, that is what it is. The pickups are wound in opposite directions to prevent the hum that is so common in single coil pickups. These are mainly used in rock guitar because of the thick, warm tones they produce. Sometimes you will see a guitar with one or two humbuckers (or single coils). If there is just one it is generally in the bridge position to give a bright, high output tone. When there is two. One is in the bridge position and one in the neck position. The neck pickup gives a smooth, warm, kind of mellow tone used mostly in jazz and blues. These also function well as rhythm pickups. Pickups are what turns the vibration of the strings into sound. The pickups are basically magnets with copper wire wrapped around them. When a string is plucked, the magnets pick up the vibration of the string and then send the signal to the amp and then the amp boosts the signal into audible levels. As for your acoustic-electric question, generally true acoustics are hollow body not semi-hollow. There are those that are though. They can be played as acoustic but they won't have near as much volume or tone as a hollow. The body is not on solid block of wood, rather, it contains hollow chambers to produce the natural acoustic tones. They ar plugged in to get the amplified acoustic-electric tones. I hope this makes sense to you since you say you don't know anything about electrics. As far as the mini humbucker goes, it is a humbucking pickup that is the size of a single coil pickup. Alot of people replace the single coil bridge pickup in Strat-style guitars (generally cut for three single coils) with mini humbuckers to give the guitar a beefier sound without having to modify the pickup holes. I hope this isn't too confusing for you and I hope I've been able to help a little.

Slides are cheap, buy one of each....glass tends to be a little warmer sounding (think Duane Allman) and metal is a little slicker and treblier (Johnny Winter). I personally like a thick glass slide, but that's just my preference.

: i wanna know what, if any, differences there are between glass and metal slides. i wanna get one

The difference is quite simple. A passive humbucker is what most guitars contain. The tone knob only brings out the treble when turned up, that is all it does. If you notice when you turn the tone all the way down it kind of muddies up. An active humbucker has a battery to accompany it. This provides the tone controls to either boost or cut frequencies. If you turn the tone knob up it boosts the treble frequencies. When you turn it down you gradually cut the frequencies and when you turn it all the way down some of the frequencies are completely cut out. Sometimes active systems can create some noise in you system and the batteries tend to not last very long but they can be useful. I hope this helps a little.

passives are guess what? Passive! ill bet u can tell what actives are! Active!

Back in the day,Strats and Teles were used a lot.But any guitar can be used for funk.The trick is tweaking your amp to get the bright,clear sounds needed.Glenn Goines(Parliament)used a Gibson L6-S and SG's.While Gary Shider was known for using Stratocasters.Tweaking is the key.
Good Luck

: how much would you spend (in $ or euros) bor a box that, connected via MIDI to POD, will give you the possibility to connect two expression pedals and a on/off pedal switch (not included in the box price), in order to act on volume, wha, and wha on/off?

Are you offering one or planning to build one commercially? I would be interested.
Midi Solutions do a box for US$129 but that has no pedal - you just plug in a volume pedal.
For what it involves I would pay about $25- otherwise I would build one.
