In the zone
hammer ons is more dependent on how strong your guitar pickup is. a powerful humbucker at the neck helps a lot.
It has nothing to do with your pickups. It's a general technique which applies to acoustics and electrics both. It's all about finger strength and accuracy. A good hammer-on should sound as loud as if the note has been picked. If your guitar can pick up the sound of a note when you use a pick but not when you hammer-on the same note, that's a problem with your technique, not the guitar.
