The SA is an active single coil loaded with an Alnico V bar magnet that provides a vintage Strat single coil sound: bright, airy, with a rich bottom end. With internal shielding and a low impedance preamp, you get virtually noiseless operation at a higher output level so that all the tone makes it to your amp. Additionally, the Alnico V bar magnet allows for the output to remain balanced during string bends, and makes for a playability and reliability that is unrivaled. The creamy mid-range warmth and sublime blues tones are clear, strong and expressive, and allow you to reach from classic and clean, to rowdy and raunchy. Experience why players the world over, rely on EMG in the studio and on the stage.
Q & A
There are currently no questions for this product.
I like to record direct, and was so sick of noisy passive pickups that I decided to upgrade all my guitars and basses to active. I bought this pickup to replace the single coil in my cheap slide guitar. It is a HUGE upgrade over the original passive pickup. It features a nice even output with full bandwidth tone. Very simple to install. The best part is the reduced noise. I can now record direct with a very clean and rich sounding signal. This is my second EMG purchase. I just wish they were a bit less expensive so I could upgrade all my guitars at once.
