Looking to crank up your tone and slice through the mix? Born in a Long Beach, California garage, EMG pickups have been the secret weapon of guitarists since the 70s, with their game-changing 'active pickups' taking the stage by storm. Nearly 40 years later, EMG has become the technology leader in active and passive pickup design, and they're still designed and hand-built in Cali. EMG pickups pack punch, clarity, and precision, whether you're laying down brutal metal riffs or clean, expressive solos. Here at American Musical Supply, we've got the EMG pickups for sale that you need to better your tone. Check out our entire selection and upgrade your rig with EMG at AMS today.
