Frequently asked questions
Are the tone and performance identical between ivory and white?
Yes. Both are the same EMG HA Long Shaft Active Single Coil Pickup with identical active electronics, Alnico magnet, single-coil-in-humbucker housing design, and noise-free output. The only difference is the cover finish color.
What does the long-shaft configuration mean?
The long-shaft design accommodates guitar potentiometers with extended shafts, ensuring proper mechanical fit during installation without modification to your instrument.
Do I need to solder these pickups in?
No. Both models use EMG's solderless Quik-Connect system for tool-free installation and reversal. Product A includes the prewired split shaft controls; verify Product B's inclusion of controls separately.
Will these work for high-gain metal or blues?
These pickups excel at clarity and articulation, making them better suited for lead playing, clean tones, and precision work. They are not ideal for thick sludge metal or extreme high-gain applications.
