EMG DG20 SE David Gilmour Special Edition Pickups & Pickguard Set Overview
EMG SA Pickups: Vintage Strat Single Coil Brilliance
The EMG SA pickups feature active single coils with an Alnico V bar magnet, delivering the classic vintage Strat single coil sound with a brilliant and rich low-end. Shielded internally and powered by a low impedance preamp, these pickups ensure virtually noiseless operation while providing a higher output level for maximum tone transfer to your amplifier. The Alnico V bar magnet maintains balance during string bends, offering unmatched playability and reliability. Experience creamy mid-range warmth and expressive blues tones, effortlessly transitioning from classic clean sounds to raunchy, powerful tones.
EMG-SPC (Strat Presence Control): Expanding Tonal Horizons
The EMG-SPC, also known as the “fat control,” was originally designed to transform the tone of single-coil pickups into dual-coil-like richness. By boosting gain in a broad mid-band range and reducing highs, the SPC adds a full-bodied, louder character to any single-coil pickup. Its versatility extends to humbuckers, where it crafts a high-output, fat tone perfect for expressive slide guitar playing.
EMG-EXG Guitar Expander: Unparalleled Tonal Flexibility
Enhance your tonal possibilities with the EMG-EXG Guitar Expander. This powerful tool provides a frequency response akin to standard guitar amp equalization. With boosted lows and highs and a dipped midrange, the EXG allows you to craft a clear, full-bodied tone that stands out in any mix without losing clarity. Let your guitar shine with clean and articulate notes, ensuring your sound remains prominent and distinct.
Easy Installation
The EMG DG20, featuring the exclusive solderless Quik-Connect system, flawlessly replicates David Gilmour’s legendary signature sound. With EMG’s alnico-loaded SA single-coil pickups, EMG-EXG expander for added fatness, and EMG-SPC presence control to enhance natural Strat tones, this pre-wired pickguard brings you the same unique tones David used during his Pink Floyd days and as a solo artist. Install the EMG DG20 into your Strat and get ready to transcend reality on a breathtaking musical journey.
