With internal shielding and an independent preamp in each pickup, you get great tone over a background of silence. The low-impedence preamp also gives you a higher output level so that all your tone makes it to your amp. Vacuum sealed coils reduce squeals and other microphonic effects. In addition, you can specify the exact combination of EMG components for your guitar and have a custom combination including pickups and EQ accessories built to order at the factory. Single pole alnico magnets help deliver classic overdrive with smooth midrange distortion, while still retaining the familiar high end of a single-coil pickup.
Ceramic magnets give clear, sparkling highs without brittleness.
