Complete Pickup Set
Active pickups in electric guitars: this is where opinions split. But even sceptics have to admit one thing: the EMG pickups sound fantastic, even without background noise, and the long list of prominent users (including David Gilmour, Steve Lukather and Metallica's Kirk Hammett) speaks for itself!
Metallica's lead guitarist Kirk Hammett had EMG design the complete electronics onto a pickguard to correspond precisely to his ideas. In this case, it is the variant for his main guitar with a humbucker at the bridge and 2 single coils. This is now available for purchase, and it allows all pieces to be played with a versatile, modern sound. The EMG 81 is installed at the bridge: nowadays this is known as the Kirk Hammett pickup as the Metallica lead guitarist has this on almost all of his guitars. Razor sharp attack (particularly important - albeit rare - with a high-output pickup) and a long sustain, which makes it ideal for crisp, packed lead lines and furious artistry on the guitar.
The neck and middle positions boast an EMG S. This pickup, with its ceramic magnets, produces a more modern Strat sound with a little more oomph in the upper-mids and treble. This makes powerful, brilliant sounds possible but ensures that they still always sound pleasant. A combination that leaves practically no wish ungranted.

Etwas anders als erwartet.
Wrider 15.12.2013
Ich habe eine alte Squire Stratocaster Japan aus den 80igern damit ausgestattet. Die Gitarre hatte ich in den 80igern umgebaut. Mit einem FloydRose Tremolo und nur noch einem DiMarzio Superdistortion mit Oberfräse zur Heavyklampfe gepimmt.
Da ich nun wieder in einer Coverrockband spiele wollt ich etwas mehr flexibilität.
Der Einbau war super einfach. Das ganze Set macht einen hervorragenden Eindruck.
Soundmässig hab ich vom Steghumbucker etwas mehr erwartet. Ich finde den etwas steril bzw. dünn. Da fand ich den Superdistortion fast angenehmer. Man kann natürlich auch ein bisschen nachregeln. Umsobesser finde ich die SingleCoils in diesem Set die wirklich viele Klangnuancen ohne Störgeräusche zulassen. Insgesamt eine gute Alternative zu meinen beiden anderen Gitarren, einer Gibson Les Paul Custom aus den 80igern (sehr warmer Sound) und meiner neuen PSR SE Custom (super bespielbar, toller Sound).
