Description
Gilmour’s tone isn’t just about the red Strat—it’s the active circuit underneath the pickguard, and now you can bolt that exact system into your own instrument. The DG20 pairs EMG’s ivory, alnico-loaded SA single coils with an EXG expander for added body and an SPC presence control that keeps the classic Strat quack intact while giving you room to push into thicker, more atmospheric territory. Everything is prewired onto a custom 11-hole white pearl pickguard with matching white knobs, so it’s a straightforward swap rather than a soldering project.
Because active electronics change the game (batteries, shielded wiring, that unmistakable low-noise headroom), this is really a full system rather than just a pickup upgrade. Loaded, wired, and shaped around one of the most instantly recognizable guitar tones in rock history.
The bundle doesn’t stop at the pickguard. You’ll also get:
- A Fishman FT-2 clip-on chromatic tuner—just 21 grams, so it won’t touch your tone, with a bright backlit display and ±1 cent accuracy. Flip up to power on, flip down to shut off and stay parked on the headstock.
- A set of Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel Wound strings (.010-.046), the same gauge favored by Clapton, Mayer, and Vai, giving your newly wired guitar fresh strings to match.
Drop it in, plug in, and chase that soaring, saturated Gilmour lead tone without reverse-engineering his rig yourself.
