EMG SA BK

The "EMG-SA" is an active single-coil with an alnico 5 magnet. It stands for "the" classic vintage Strat single-coil sound that EMG offers. Internal shielding and a low impedance preamp provide most extensive reduction of noise even at higher output levels. The "SA" provides the warmth of the lower mids, sounds very creamy and gives the necessary expressiveness for multi-faceted and bluesy tone building. He brings in total more highs and upper mids than the "SLV", designed individually for Steve Lukather of Toto and basically an over-wound "SA". The "EMG-SA" is commonly used for classic and clean sounds and also very popular for crunchy and light distorted sounds. However, the SA can also rock really well. He is one of the most popular pickups of EMG. At the EMG DG-20 (David Gilmour) three "EMG-SA" are installed to fit the taste of one of the most famous Strat players ever.
