What is the difference between a guitar that is active and one that is passive?
"That’s what takes place when a song is written: You see something that isn’t there. Then you use your instrument to find it."

Active pickups have a preamp in the guitar, run by a battery. The article AK posted is a good place to start learning about them. EMG makes the most popular active pickups http://www.emginc.com/
