In 1993, EMG
decided to contribute to the "Retro" trend that was taking
place in the guitar industry by developing the EMG-SV. The EMG-SV has
the original string interface: staggered Alnico 5 pole pieces. But
that's where the similarities end. EMG tone modeled the EMG-SV after
the 1959 Strat with that familiar peaky response at around 3000 Hz.
The EMG-SV has that "plucky" percussive attack, but has a
much smoother, less scratchy distortion sound, and more output. It's
truly a marriage of vintage magnetic design and state of the art
electronics.
EMG used the SV as the vehicle
to further propel itself into a new era. The SV is the first EMG to feature a totally
new preamp that breaks the noise barrier beyond -100dbV. It's so quiet it's impossible
to tell the guitar is even plugged in at high gain levels. It's also the first pickup to
use the Quik-Connect system that allows you to swap pickups easily. If you're looking
for a pickup that departs from the usual stop, but takes a different route, the EMG-SV
is a perfect choice.
Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cables (3), prewired control set
including volume, 2 tone controls, 5-way selection switch (black & white knobs), output
jack, and battery clip, screws & springs.
