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.
