RE: Switching pickups, literally

Hmm, I can't say as though I understand too much of this. It might make more sense if I didn't just have an acoustic guitar and I actually knew how to play! I need to try and get some ambition some day...

Well there are lots of kinds of pickups with different sound. Generally you are stuck with what is in your guitar, but people have tried to give you more options. It's like different tyres on a car :)
Is that the main reason musicians switch guitars so frequently at concerts?
It's part of the reason. How a guitar feels can affect how you play as well as the sound. Some players seem to base their career on one guitar, e.g. Brian May, but others like to mix it up.
Gotcha!
