Guitar Microphone

The EMG 60 Gold, with its ceramic magnets, is a pick-up for those who want a responsive sound. Its voicing brings out the midrange without restricting the treble. Solderless installation saves you time. It's a real solution for giving a neck configuration that's too soft a kick.

ARTICLE N° 108070
To wake up the neck of a guitar that's too round, the EMG 60 Gold pickup brings nerve to every attack. The treble pierces, the dynamics climb and the sustain follows. It pushes harmonics without losing balance.

The secret lies in the short, tight coils. Combined with a ceramic magnet, they produce a nervous signal. Even at low volume, the notes remain clean. When turned up, they explode without burrs.

The active preamp pushes 3V string by string. On a pressed strum, it climbs to 4.5V. It keeps control without limiting the character of the playing.

Installation is simple. No soldering, no unnecessary tools. Each element of the EMG system is plugged in by hand.

This model plays it straight. It slices, it snaps. And with its gold look, it's just as suited to modern set-ups as it is to customised vintage guitars. If you're looking for attack on the neck, this is a serious contender.

The EMG 60 pickup sometimes lets the upper treble breathe. This balances well with a sharper bridge.

In a saturated prog mix, every note remains legible. Fast arpeggios gain in clarity.

On mahogany, the low-mids take up more space. Alder gives a sharper attack.

Doubled with a brighter pickup, nothing sounds muddy. The 60 supports without overlapping.

With 400 µA, the battery lasts for several weeks on stage.
