EMG SA Set Electric Guitar Pickup Set

Add an EMG-SA pickup set to your Strat-style guitar. This package comes with 2 Quik-Connect cables, a 3-way switch, and everything you need for assembly.

EMG's most popular system for Stratocaster-type* guitars was originally developed in 1974 but was redesigned along with all the other models in 1979. It was voiced with the help of guitar Repairman/Luthier John Carruthers and his professional clientele. The first professional who spread the gospel about the EMG-SA was Peter Frampton who visited EMG in 1979. By 1985, Peter had turned Steve Lukather on to the system along with a host of others. They can't recall when David Gilmour got his first SA System, but Rob remembers delivering a system in L.A. for David and meeting Phil Taylor (David's main man) for the first time.

The EMG-SA combines the attributes of the early Strat* sound but with an added midrange response and higher output. It's "bell-like" ringing harmonics and increased sustain give the SA greater versatility than normally found in single-coil pickups. A single Alnico bar magnet delivers classic overdrive with a smooth midrange distortion, while still retaining the familiar high-end of a single-coil pickup. The internal preamp rejects every bit of hum and buzz for noiseless operation. Only three connections are necessary to complete the assembly.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect cables (3), prewired control set including volume, 2 tone controls, 5-way selection switch (black & white knobs), output jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.

Note: This pickup is the short shaft version.

Sound
it sounds like a strat but not a traditional strat. if your looking for something unique this fits that desire. very powerful with natural tube overdrive and very clean when the gain is dialed down, very very responsive to your playing. i would certainly recomend.
Quality
it's American made right here in California. that's as good as it gets.
