Pickups working as microphone?

[Electricblue]

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?

 

[Adam Guzzo]

Yeah that's normal

 

[rhino333]

Very normal.

 

[line6man]

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

Perfectly normal.

Wahey, awesome. Cheers guys!

Peace out.
