Passive pickups are the most commen ones, they work with copperwound coils arround magnets. And there are active pickups like the EMG pickups or the Seymour Duncan Blackouts, they have less powerfull magnets but they have an internal preamp that is powered by a battery that you have to put into your guitar!
Passive pickups usually have better dynamics and a more natural tone while active pickups are almost noiseless, sound very clear but not very dynamic...
And this is NOT a good guitar! I have tried several DEAN guitars now and I have even owned two in this price region and all I can say is that they are a total waste of money. The hardware is great but the build and wood quality are usually worse than guitars that cost half as much on other companies. I have yet to play a Dean guitar made outside of the USA that is worth it's money!!!
For 1200$ you can get a much better guitar!
