EMG Strat Replacement System

The EMG-S pickup features the same construction as the EMG-SA but replaces the Alnico magnet with ceramic. It has the equivalent output of the EMG-SA but the EMG-S features a brighter tone quality accentuated in the upper middle to high frequency response (similar to later model Strat pickups). By using the EMG Tone Modeling technique, the EMG-S has a “sparkle” with added definition for depth and increased sensitivity. Country artists such as Vince Gill prefer the EMG-S because it can translate a players technique faithfully.
