EMG - SAX Pickup Set Ivory

The EMG SA-X set is for guitarists who love the vintage character of single coils, but are looking for more precision, silence and versatility. Whether you're a fan of brilliant clean, slamming funk or expressive blues solos, this trio of active pickups guarantees exemplary clarity, without the extraneous noise typical of traditional singles.

The Alnico V magnets ensure a balanced, expressive response, even when you're pushing the bends or playing with a lot of nuance. The discreet but effective X series active preamp keeps the sound clear and stable, no matter how loud or complex the mix. Whether on stage or in the studio, the attack remains precise, with no background noise and a good reserve of dynamics under your fingers.

The little extra that makes all the difference: the VLPF tone control. It acts like a passive tone control, but with far greater finesse of adjustment, perfect for refining the upper end of the spectrum without crushing the sound. And despite all this on-board technology, the Strat™ character is still there, true to form.

This set will speak to musicians who want a simple, natural-to-play pickup, but without the usual compromises: no buzz, no loss of definition, no galleys at high volume. It retains the grain of vintage pickups, but with the comfort and reliability of a modern active system.
In short, a smart choice for those who want the character of a passive with the performance of an active, without having to choose between the two.
