Product Detail
The EMG SAX Active Single Coil Strat Guitar Pickup in black offers a distinct Strat sound. It's bright and airy, with a deep and rich bottom end. Loaded with an Alnico V bar magnet, it maintains balanced output during big string bends, delivering a beautifully clear tone. Thanks to internal shielding and a low - impedance preamp, you get a nearly noiseless pickup without losing the true single - coil sound. The X series preamp combines the best of passive and active tones. Its warm mid - range produces amazing blues tones that are clear, strong, and full of expression. That's why musicians around the world trust EMG single coil pickups in the studio and on stage. The package comes with EMG's exclusive solderless install system, including a 25K volume pot, an active tone pot (VLPF), a battery bus, a stereo output jack, a two - pickup in/out bus, a pair of mounting screws and springs, a pickup cable, two connect cables, an output cable, and a battery cable.
Using this EMG SAX guitar pickup is easy. First, use the included solderless install system to set it up in your guitar. Connect the 25K volume pot, active tone pot, battery bus, and other components as shown in the instructions. When you play, you'll notice the bright and clear sound right away. For the best results, keep the battery charged as the active preamp relies on it. If you start to hear noise, check the battery or the connections. As for maintenance, keep the pickup clean from dust and dirt. You can use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it down. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can damage the components. When not in use, store your guitar in a cool, dry place to protect the pickup.
