Single-coil pickup for electric guitar players who love the sound of a bright and clear single-coil pickup, but hate the hum. Unlike most single coil pickups, EMG's internal shielding and low-impedance preamp makes this pickup virtually noiseless while maintaining an authentic single coil sound. The ceramic bar magnet provides a balanced and bright guitar tone, while the added X preamp gives players increased headroom and amazing touch sensitivity. This pickup has plenty of output to provide the sound top end with sizzle while maintaining solid lows with articulation and presence. Whether playing jazz, country, metal or blues, the versatility is undeniable. With EMG's solder-less wiring, the installation of the pickup can be easily done at home. Black colour.
