Guitar Microphone

ARTICLE N° 109528
The EMG FTC Black is a classic Telecaster pickup, rewired for the modern world. Placed in the neck position, this active pickup features a high-definition ceramic magnet. The result: an immediate balance between biting attack and crisp clarity, without any hiss, even with distortion.

The resonant frequency of 5.30 kHz brings out brilliant highs without ever erasing the bass. And when you turn up the gain, the response remains stable thanks to a 3 V peak output. There's no buzz, no ground wires to connect, and the dynamics are present throughout the playing range.

EMG delivers a complete system, with solderless cabling, 25k potentiometers and pre-installed connectors. Direct mounting or pickguard, it's all done in the blink of an eye. Warning: remember to check the space for the 9V battery before installation.

With its natural sustain and clean attack, the FTC is a modern take on the classic twang. A pickup designed for those who want to rediscover the Telecaster bite, with good electronic stability. Whether you're into blues, country or rock, it'll respond without flinching.

A ceramic magnet, an electric soul, instant punch. The EMG FTC is style at full voltage.
