Description
The SA/SA/89 set answers the old “Strat with a humbucker” itch, but takes it further. Instead of just bolting a bucker into the bridge, EMG gave you a dual-mode 89 there — pull the mini switch and it splits from a fat, ceramic-powered humbucker into a genuine single-coil voice, no phase cancellation weirdness, just a real tonal shift. Neck and middle slots get EMG’s Alnico V single coils, tuned for the glassy, slightly vintage-leaning sparkle that makes HSS setups so useful for covering ground between rhythm chime and lead push.
- Bridge: EMG 89, dual-mode active humbucker/single coil
- Neck & Middle: EMG SA, Alnico V active single coils
- Finish: Black
- Solderless wiring system for tool-free installation and swaps
Because everything runs on EMG’s solderless connectors, dropping this set into your guitar doesn’t mean committing to a soldering iron for the afternoon. Order it fully wired or grab pieces separately if you’re mixing and matching with an existing harness — either way, going from stock pickups to this set (or back again) later on is just a matter of unplugging and reconnecting, not desoldering old joints. It’s the kind of setup that rewards players who want one guitar to cover humbucker snarl and single-coil twang without swapping instruments.
