Description
EMG’s SA Set is a go-to upgrade for players who love the twang of an early Strat but want more muscle behind it. Instead of passive single coils fighting for headroom, you get an active system with Alnico V bar magnets under each string, delivering a bright, airy top end paired with a surprisingly rich low end.
- Active single-coil design for higher output than typical passive Strat pickups
- Alnico V bar magnets for focused, articulate string-to-string balance
- Added midrange presence that gives the classic Strat tone more “bell-like” harmonic character
- Increased sustain compared to vintage-style single coils
- Complete replacement system, finished in white to match traditional Strat aesthetics
What makes the SA Set stand out isn’t just louder output — it’s how the extra midrange and harmonic content thickens up the sound without burying the sparkle that makes Strat-style pickups so recognizable. Chords ring out with more sustain and clarity, single-note lines cut through a mix, and the low end stays full instead of thinning out at higher gain. If you’ve been chasing that early Strat vibe but wanted it with more push and polish, this active system is built for exactly that job.
