Great Upgrade even on a Squire

Chose to install these active EMG’s on a squire baritone. Such a cool tone for a mix of heavy and spank! The active pickups give the telecaster a more powerful and bright tone but still a quality of heavy. Battery fit snug but well under the control plate. I would consider this replacement on a MIM Tele Fender player any day. This coupled with your favorite plug in or amp shouldn’t disappoint. Rock on!!!

These sound great. Should be a drop in set for Fender Telecaster. Requires a little modification inside the control cavity for Squier Affinity and Bullet/Sonic Teles.
Great hot sounding bridge and beautiful singing neck pickups. So easy to install this solderless kit.

I put these in my telecaster i built and wow they are amazing. They clean up super crisp and can get super nasty when you want them to, very simple and easy to install all plug and play no solder you won’t regret getting these for any genre of music I highly recommend.

Decent Pups.

Product Review
They are really not an upgrade if you are using them for your US tele, but rather a swap out for different sound. You really can't upgrade a high end guitar; you can just swap some stuff around. Having said that, these pups are ok, but there is a definite suppressor-like addition working here.The notes don't ring out as long as my stock pups, but rather, the "whisper quiet" feature as described in the pup sales pitch, cuts the note short, exactly as a suppressor pedal set to extra sensitive would do.

These are my favorite Tele pickups ever. I have had loads of Teles, neck P90, neck humbucker. The Strat pickup. This is the best sounding neck, it just sings, they’re balanced, and no hum. I love the solderless system.

LOVE EMG’s and these will be a perfect addition to a telecaster style guitar I’m building. AMS also provided fast delivery and awesome customer service.

Yes, swap these active pickups with your current set up. I swear your guitar will be a totally new guitar. I'm actually thinking about swapping out all my pickups to EMG active pickups. They sound great.

Turn your Tele into a metal screamer!

Product Review
I’ve used EMG pickups since 1985 and when I bought my first Tele (Squier Affinity) the pickups were good but not stellar. This set was easy to install and turned my Tele into a metal screamer! Harmonics just jump out and you can get a great metal sound with this set. For clean tones the neck pickup is VERY useful. Worth every penny!

The best telecaster pickups I have ever used! I've had Texas Specials, Lace Sensors, '52 Reissues and these EMG's smoke em all! The cleans are crisp, bright and snappy! You dirty it up and they respond very nice and are super quiet!! Easy install too!! They gave new life and attitude to my Tele and it's become my favorite guitar to play!
