A common pickup for an electric guitar consists of a coil of wire around a small permanent magnet. The magnetic field of the magnet magnetizes the nearby guitar string. When the string is plucked, the rhythmic oscillations of the string produce the same rhythmic changes in the magnetic field through the coil, which in turn induce the same rhythmic voltages in the coil, which when amplified and sent to a speaker produce music! Why will this type of pickup not work with nylon strings?
