EMG SV/SET-B Active Vintage 1959 Strat Pickup Set

Rock Hill, NY, United States

About this listing

In 1993, EMG decided to contribute to the "Retro" trend that was taking place in the guitar industry by developing the EMG-SV. The EMG-SV has the original string interface: staggered Alnico 5 pole pieces. But that's where the similarities end. EMG tone modeled the EMG-SV after the 1959 Strat with that familiar peaky response at around 3000 Hz. The EMG-SV has that "plucky" percussive attack, but has a much smoother, less scratchy distortion sound, and more output. It's truly a marriage of vintage magnetic design and state of the art electronics. EMG used the SV as the vehicle to further propel itself into a new era. The SV is the first EMG to feature a totally new preamp that breaks the noise barrier beyond -100dbV. It's so quiet it's impossible to tell the guitar is even plugged in at high gain levels. It's also the first pickup to use the Quik-Connect system that allows you to swap pickups easily. 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. Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connectâ„¢ cables (3), prewired control set including volume, 2 tone controls, 5-way selection switch (black & white knobs), output jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.
