What does a "scooped mid" mean when referring to pickups?

In particular, many guitarists refer to the pickups on John Mayer's Signature Strat as having a "scooped mid." What does this mean? Can only strat pickups have a scooped mid?

There are at least two ways to produce scooped mid tones: one is via an equalizer and the other is via the pickup itself.

Via an equalizer:

"An equalizer setting used for electric amplified instruments. The midrange frequencies are cut off/scooped out. Used to make the sound fatter, especially for bass slapping and hard overdriven guitar riffing. You can get an awesome heavy metal sound with a high amount of distortion and a midrange scoop. "

from:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=midrange%20scoop

The setting is simple... just turn the lower and upper frequencies up and all of the mid-range freqencies down. Looking at the equalizer, the setting should visually resemble a smile.

The result is the same for any guitar playing through an equalizer set this way.

Via the pickup:

However, in the case of pickups, Meyer's "Big Dipper" pickups accomplish the same thing by cutting out the mid-range frequencies in their design and manufacture. Any pickup can be adjusted or made to "scoop" the "mids." This is accomplished by adjusting the height of each individual pole. The upper and lower frequency poles are higher (closer to the string) and the mid-range poles are set lower (further away from the string). For info on pole adjustment, see the following:

Hope this helps!
