The Single-coil Sound of the Future
Inspired by a surfy single-coil from the golden era of guitar building, EMG JMaster pickups blend old-school passive pickup design with cutting-edge modern active electronics! This unique addition to EMG’s Retro Active series starts with a soapbar-style stacked-coil design, sporting Alnico V magnets for a rich, balanced, and full-range tone across all six strings. Next, a custom EMG preamp — specially designed to retain this pickup’s vintage-style character — is placed onto the pickup to deliver all the benefits of a modern active preamp design but with an old-school feel and response. It’s the best of both modern and vintage in a single stunning single-coil design!
