EMG 57/66 TW Dual Mode Humbucker Pickup Set

Equip your axe with an EMG 57/66 TW Dual Mode pickup set and select from single-coil or humbucker sounds via the included wiring harness with push-pull pots.

Overview

In 2010 EMG Pickups introduced the 57/66 Set. Now it is releasing the dual mode versions of one of its most popular sets. These pickups feature selectable single and dual coil sounds using EMG's proprietary three-coil design.

The 66 model neck pickup features its popular humbucker design while the single coil selection gives the player brilliant fluidness. The 66 is a truly hybrid in design using both ceramic and alnico magnets. By utilizing both magnet types the tone from the single-coil position is clear and powerful.

The 57 neck pickup uses a combination of alnico and steel making it a true rocker in both single- and dual-coil positions. The single coil selection is smooth and seamless. The high resonance of the pickup carries the tone with unequivocal clarity.

This being the extension of the popular 57/66 Set, EMG has taken this set to a whole other level. The 57/66 TW Set includes EMG's solderless wiring harness with a push pull potentiometer for each pickup along with two standard tone controls to fit any configuration.

Note: This pickup is the short shaft version.

"Great Set"

I bought a chibson and stripped it down and threw these pickups and electronics in it and it sounds great. I also put a tune-o-matic bridge, Gibson tail piece and replaced the nut but that's besides the point but It MAY contribute to the overall sound. The metal tones offer great sustain and plenty of headroom and remind me a LOT of the EMG 81 but these clean up SO much better. I'm almost mad at myself for putting them in a chibby.
