Pickups working as microphone?

Ok, I have a Squier Jazz with the pickups wired in series with a single volume pot.

When I knock on the body or control plate, I can hear it through the amp.

Is this normal or not?

Have you not heard Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of Third Stone From The Sun, where he beats the guitar senseless!?

Perfectly normal.
