EMG FT and RT Telecaster Pickups with Switch and Pots

The EMG T set — FT neck and RT bridge — is one of the most practical and well-regarded active pickup upgrades available for Telecaster-style guitars, and this is a complete, ready-to-install package pulled from a working guitar in excellent condition.

The FT has a reputation among EMG players as the sweetest pickup in the entire EMG catalog. The Alnico magnets and custom-engineered coil give it a warmth and tonal complexity that active pickups don't always deliver — the neck position chimes without the ice-pick harshness that plagues passive single-coils in that position, and there is a richness in the low end that makes it genuinely useful for clean, driven, and recorded tones alike. The RT bridge pickup covers the other end of the Tele equation — twang and bite and that familiar Telecaster clarity — but without the hum and microphonic noise that passive Tele bridge pickups are notorious for. Both pickups use EMG's Alnico magnets with broader bandwidth than standard single-coils, which means you get more information in the signal without the peaks and valleys that make passive Tele pickups difficult in certain amp and room combinations.

The complete harness is included: FT neck pickup, RT bridge pickup, three-way switch, volume pot, tone pot, output jack, and battery clip, all in black. Pulled from a working guitar in excellent condition. You will need a 9-volt battery — everything else is here.
