EMG T (Set)

The EMG-T is EMG's two pickup replacement system for Telecaster* guitars. Designed with Alnico magnets, the EMG-T puts the EMG fullness and broad bandwidth into the Telecaster that it never had. The rhythm pickup (EMG-FT) is undoubtedly the best pickup EMG makes. All the elements are in the right proportion; magnet choice, coil size, amount of turns, and good luck have given the EMG-FT the sweetest sound of any EMG. Each of the EMG-T Pickups are fully noiseless without the typical hum, buzz or microphonic squeal.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cables (2), prewired control set including volume, tone, 3-way selection switch, output jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.

Options Available: Black, White, or Ivory cover cap.

EMG TC (Set)

Swap the Alnico magnets with ceramics and you have the TC. This two-pickup system is geared toward the high end with less emphasis on the mids. The EMG-TC features a bright, clear, penetrating high end that's as naturally bright as we could design it without losing the harmonic sweetness typical of EMG designs. All in all, it's a tight, bright, aggressive sound. [+]

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cables (2), prewired control set including volume, tone, 3-way selection switch, output jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.

Options Available: Black, White, or Ivory cover cap.

EMG-FT Tele Neck Pickup

The EMG-FT is undoubtedly the best pickup EMG makes. All the elements are in the right proportion; magnet choice, coil size, amount of turns, and good luck have given the EMG-FT the sweetest sound of any EMG. Emmett Chapman has adapted the FT to his latest "Stick" Design because of the beauty of its tone.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

EMG-RT Tele Bridge Pickup

The EMG-RT bridge pickup is much larger so its qualities are quite different than the FT. The EMG-RT has a fatter sound yet still has that familiar bite and clarity for that classic Tele* tone. Each of the EMG-T Pickups are fully noiseless without the typical hum, buzz or microphonic squeal.

EMG-SV Strat Pickup

During the "Retro" trend in the early 90's, EMG decided to develop their first "vintage" style pickup, the EMG-SV. Using the same original string interface (staggered Alnico 5 pole pieces), the SV is tone modeled after the 1959 Strat with that familiar peaky response at around 3000 Hz giving it that "plucky" percussive attack. Because it's truly a marriage of vintage design and state of the art electronics, it has a much smoother, less scratchy distortion sound, and more output. If you're looking for a pickup that departs from the usual stop, but takes a different route, the EMG-SV is a perfect choice.

EMG-SA Strat Pickup

The EMG-SA pickup combines the attributes of the early Strat* sound but with an added midrange response and higher output, giving it "bell-like" ringing harmonics and increased sustain. One single Alnico bar magnet delivers classic overdrive with a smooth midrange distortion, while still retaining the familiar high-end of a single-coil pickup. These characteristics provide greater versatility than what is normally found in single-coil pickups. Favorites of Steve Lukather and David Gilmour just to name two, the EMG-SA is EMG's most popular pickup for Stratocaster* type guitars

EMG-S Strat Pickup

The EMG-S pickup features the same construction as the EMG-SA but replaces the Alnico magnet with ceramic. It has the equivalent output of the EMG-SA but the EMG-S features a brighter tone quality accentuated in the upper middle to high frequency response (similar to later model Strat pickups). By using the EMG Tone Modeling technique, the EMG-S has a "sparkle" with added definition for depth and increased sensitivity. Country artists such as Vince Gill prefer the EMG-S because it can translate a player's technique faithfully.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

EMG-SAV Strat Pickup

EMG has worked with Steve Lukather of Toto for several years now and the latest result is the EMG-SAV. They developed the SAV for Steve's "Luke" Guitar made by Ernie Ball, but for Steve they added their special touch. The windings were increased for a meatier tone, they hid away the pole pieces for a more uniform look to the instrument, and they used the original preamp from the SA pickup with flat Alnico 5 pole pieces hidden under the cover cap. Still with EMG's classic sound, the flat poles put the pickup closer to the strings for more output and a punchier attack.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

Options Available: Black, White, or Ivory cover cap.

EMG-P85 Active P90

Although the EMG-P85 has more measurable output than the P81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The P85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils in a P-90 style housing, while still featuring a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy. It's a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an P81 in the bridge.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws.

If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-P81 is the one. [+]

EMG 81 TW
The EMG-81TW humbucking pickup takes an EMG classic to a new level. The dual-mode design allows for maximum flexibility, with the original 81 providing all the crunch and aggressiveness it's famous for and an all new single-coil that features a fatter tone with plenty of punch and clarity.

Dual internal preamps, one tuned for single-coil mode and the other for dual-coil mode, give the 81TW two distinct sounds while delivering EMG's well known noise cancelling technology in both modes.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable [easily connect to other EMG accessories like the SPC Presence Control, EXG Guitar Expander, or the PA2 Preamp Booster], push/pull pot, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

EMG-89 Active Dual Mode Pickup

Inside the EMG-89 pickup are both single and dual-coil pickups, each with its own output. The single-coil mode is an Alnico loaded stacked EMG-SA. The dual-coil mode consists of two Alnico loaded coils opposite one another creating a pickup similar to the EMG-85. A push/pull volume or tone enables you to switch from the clarity of a single-coil to the fatness of a humbucking. Virtually noiseless in both modes, it can also be used with several EMG accessories such as the SPC, EXG expander, or the PA2 preamp booster. [+]

Seymour Duncan Blackout Humbucker - Set
9-volt active humbucker for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, drop tunings, and other heavy rock styles.

The "other" USA-made active humbuckers use unbalanced inputs in a differential preamp. The problem is, an unbalanced differential preamp is not very effective at cancelling hum. Our engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, but using balanced inputs. The result is 12dB to 14dB less noise, plus more lows, more highs, and more output. Simply put, Blackouts have more tone than other active pickups.

Blackouts are available in individual neck and bridge models, or as a two-pickup set. All versions come with all necessary mounting hardware, including pots, jack, and a battery clip.

For all humbucker guitars. The blade magnets make this pickup suitable for both humbucker and Trembucker string spacings.
