Description
Ask around and you’ll find plenty of players who quietly call the EMG-FT the best pickup in the entire EMG lineup. It’s not hype—magnet selection, coil geometry, and winding all landed in exactly the right balance to produce what may be the sweetest-voiced pickup EMG has ever shipped. The tone is refined without losing character, articulate without going thin, and it carries that unmistakable active clarity that lets every note ring through cleanly, even at high gain.
The FT’s reputation extends beyond the six-string world too. Emmett Chapman himself chose to adapt this pickup for his latest Stick design, drawn in specifically for how musical and expressive it sounds—a strong vote of confidence from an instrument designer who could pick anything he wanted.
This is a complete, ready-to-install system rather than just a pickup. Everything needed to wire it into a Telecaster-style guitar comes in the box:
- EMG’s exclusive Quik-Connect cable for solderless hookup
- Prewired split-shaft volume/tone control set
- Output jack
- Battery clip set
- Mounting screws and springs
Cover caps are available in Black, White, or Ivory, so you can match it to your guitar’s aesthetic without compromising the tone underneath.
If you’re chasing that active-EMG punch with a touch more sweetness and nuance than the rest of the family, the FT is the one worth building your Tele electronics around.
