EMG S/S/60A Active Single Coil Pickup in Ivory

The neck and middle positions deliver single-coil clarity with controlled treble for articulate clean tones, while the bridge 60A humbucker adds body, compressed sustain, and aggressive punch for lead work and power chords. The active preamps ensure balanced output and tight signal integrity across all three positions without the noise accumulation of passive designs.

Yes, this set uses standard Stratocaster routing with single-coil cavities in the neck and middle and a humbucker cavity in the bridge. You will need a 9V battery system for the active preamps to function.

Active EMG electronics with integrated preamps significantly reduce hum and eliminate the noise floor that builds up with passive pickups, especially important in high-gain applications and dense studio mixes. The tight signal integrity and focused midrange punch remain clean even under heavy distortion.

The S/S/60A excels in hard rock, metal, progressive, and studio session work. It is not designed for jazz or folk applications where single-coil warmth and organic response take priority over tight, articulate attack.

The pickup set itself is the three-pickup configuration; most EMG active preamp systems include a 9V battery and necessary wiring harness, which you should verify with your specific preamp order or installation kit.
