Product Detail
The EMG Retro Active Fat 55 humbucker set pays homage to the original PAF. It brings back the amazing tones of the 50s and 60s. With a newly - designed external preamp, it offers a low - impedance output, almost eliminating hum and noise. The Alnico magnets in traditional open - coil bobbins give you rich, warm lows while keeping high - end clarity. Whether you're playing a blues riff or an overdriven solo, the Fat 55 performs great. The new plug - on preamp gets rid of output noise but keeps the passive tone character. It's a passive pickup with active tech benefits, offering better tonal control. Available in black and zebra colors, it combines great looks with the right tone. The package comes with EMG's exclusive solderless install system, including 2 25K volume pots, 2 25K tone pots, 1 battery bus, 1 stereo output jack, 1 two - pickup in/out bus, 2 pairs of mounting screws and springs, 2 pickup cables, 4 connect cables, 1 output cable, and 1 battery cable.
Using your EMG Fat 55 Guitar Retro Active Humbucking Pickup Set is easy. First, use the included solderless install system to set it up on your guitar. Connect the volume and tone pots, battery bus, output jack, and all the cables as shown in the package. You can choose between the black and zebra color options according to your style. When playing, the pickup can handle different music styles well. For blues riffs, it can blend in nicely, and for overdriven solos, it can stand out. As for maintenance, keep the pickup clean. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. Check the cables regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues with noise or tone, make sure the preamp is properly connected. Also, replace the battery as needed to keep the active technology working smoothly.
