Is it possible to replace only pickuard with a different fender strat standard in emg dg20 pickuard set? The hardware of the dg20 is attractive, but I want to use the pickguard that I used. Let me know if you've ever replaced it.

Just bored and looking for a change so I swapped out the DiMarzio Super Distortion and PAF in my Gibby (nothing against the Super Distortion--great pickup but I have that in another guitar too). I got lucky that there was just enough space in the control cavity to fit everything but so far I am...

First post here, and I did do the reading. But, I wanted to ask. It's almost december 2021. What are your prefered noiseless S-type pickups today? Do the EMGs and Lace still hold the top crown? Are the current Gen Fender's as bad as previous ones? What's your pick? I'm not a strat guy. Tele and...

Hello everyone, I’m tempted to try some emg Strat pickups, and I’m curious to know if there’s pros / cons concerning the pots that come with the DG set as opposed to the regular pots. Is the expander similar to the mid-boost on a Clapton strat? Would I be better off using the regular emg sa...

Well, i have been for long overthinking if i should blind order or not the hardtail Bullet strat... Once i pulled teh trigger, i have to say i am super happy with it and it is an amazing and genuine strat for the amazingly small amount of money...! I actually love the stock sound...and almost no...

Has anyone on here installed the piezo “x bridge” with dg20s or any emgs for that matter. I’ve found all sorts of talk about installing it with regular passives but I can’t find anything on the x bridge with emgs. I’d like to be able to blend the signals but the preamps are inside the emgs I...

Wanted to document/show you all my recent MJT Strat build. My first Strat I built was the Gilmour Black Strat (check out my media section in my profile for pics on that one). So naturally, I wanted to make my second build after Gilmours Red EMG Strat. This might be a little long winded, so I...

Got some new pickups in the mail today. Not for Strats but exciting none the less. EMG Retro Active FAT 55-7 These will be replacing the 57-7H and 60-7XH in my LTD 7 String Baritone. Originally it came with 81-7XH/60-7XH but I never got along with the 81 outside of metal, something I play less...

Hi everyone, first post here. I'm looking for your opinions on a 1984 Tokai Goldstar Sound Strat that I may have the opportunity to purchase. First of all, I'd like to verify that it is indeed a Goldstar Sound of this vintage. The owner says that it was refinished by the previous owner, the...

Hi all, I'm considering a set of EMG SAs or the DG20 loaded guard, but I hate the idea of digging for a 9v battery. Anyone know if the Fishman rechargeable backplate will work with all active pickups?

I'm thinking about switching back to passive pickups(right now I use Vince Gill Emgs). I was curious about Magneto tone pickups. They make a 50s and a 60s style pickups. I was wondering which may still give a nice clean but a ot of backbone for rock and blues. Any advice?

Finally took the plunge and replaced my N3s. As much as I liked them, I prefer something with more output. Plus, I am a huge fan of EMGs. Enter ....... my freshly installed EMG DG20 This set up is a beast! It goes from classic Strat tones to an almost 'bucker like roar with ease. I am still...

My new Arctic white MIM Strat w/ EMG 81/S/S pickups! I also added the locking Fender tuners. I think people either love or hate the pearl pickguard on white, but personally I think the combo looks fantastic.

Hey there ladies and gentlemen! Im new to the group and new to soldering and apparently this is the place to seek some solid advice. I am hoping to solder in an EMG HZ into the bridge position of my project strat guitar, with a single coil in the neck and middle position. I have a 5-Pin...

Hi All, I wanted to share a project that I just finished, upgrading a Squire bullet strat! The Guitar I bought this guitar at a garage sale, I thought it would be a fun project to fix up and upgrade. It is a 2012 Squier Bullet HH Strat made in Indonesia (apparently at the Cort factory?). It is...

does anybody here know anything about EMG pickups and how they sound on a strat? I'm looking for bluesy to metal sound.

This video really goes to show how important silence is when playing guitar live on stage in front of a big audience. The EMG pickups that the guitar player are dead silent until he hits the stroke. Also this is one of my favourite songs of Phil Collins
