How to choose
Decide whether you are changing an electric guitar's tone or adding amplification to an acoustic before choosing.
Beginner
A player installing their first pickup upgrade should choose a set matched to their guitar model, such as a Fishman Fluence Stratocaster set for a Strat-style guitar. Have a technician install it if you are not confident with soldering, since incorrect wiring can damage the guitar's electronics.
Intermediate
Players wanting more output and clarity for rock or metal tones often choose EMG active humbucker sets, which need a battery but give a strong, consistent signal. Match pickup output to your amp's input sensitivity, since very hot pickups can overdrive some amps unexpectedly.
Expert
Acoustic players adding amplification for gigs often install the LR Baggs Element VTC or a Fishman Matrix Infinity undersaddle system for natural amplified tone. Set the onboard preamp controls carefully during soundcheck, since undersaddle pickups can sound thin or boomy if EQ is not adjusted for the room.

About Guitar Pickups
Pickups convert string vibration into the electrical signal an amp or PA reproduces, and swapping them is one of the biggest ways to change an existing guitar's tone. Players upgrade pickups to add output, clarity or a different character to their instrument.
This page includes EMG's active pickups for guitar and bass, Fishman Fluence sets designed for specific models like Stratocaster and Telecaster, and acoustic pickup systems from Fishman and LR Baggs for plugging in an acoustic guitar.
