Description
The EMG 60A takes the familiar 60-series recipe and swaps in alnico magnets where the standard model runs ceramic, and the difference is immediately audible. Instead of a scooped, glassy attack, you get smooth midrange, deep low end, and a treble response that stays articulate without turning brittle. It’s the kind of balanced, classic-thick voice that works whether you’re dialing in warm blues cleans or pushing into crunchy rock rhythm tones.
Close-aperture coils keep the pickup tight and focused, so the added warmth from the alnico magnets doesn’t come at the expense of definition. This one has traditionally lived in the rhythm position, giving guitarists a foundation that’s fat and full without getting muddy under gain.
Being an EMG active pickup, it arrives ready for a clean, hassle-free install thanks to EMG’s Solderless Install System—no iron required to get everything wired up correctly.
What’s included:
- EMG Solderless Install System
