Description
The SV Set is EMG’s answer for players who love the vintage Strat vibe but want active reliability under the hood. Staggered Alnico V pole pieces echo the 1959 Strat formula, balancing output across strings and playing nicely with the more pronounced fretboard radius found on older-style necks. That signature peak around 3000 Hz is still front and center, delivering the percussive “quack” that made those early Strats iconic.
What sets the SV apart is EMG’s newly designed preamp tucked behind that vintage voice. It smooths out the response whether you’re playing clean or pushing into overdrive, and it hands you more usable output than a passive vintage-style pickup typically offers. You get the character players chase without the hum, hiss, or inconsistency that can come with true vintage-spec coils.
Everything you need for a clean install is included, so this isn’t just a pickup swap — it’s a full electronics upgrade for your Strat.
- EMG’s exclusive Quik-Connect Cables (3)
- Prewired control set with Volume, 2 Tone controls, and 5-way selector switch (black & white knobs)
- Output jack
- Battery clip
- Screws and springs
If your Strat’s stock tone feels one-dimensional and you want vintage character with modern consistency, the SV Set is built for exactly that job.
