EMG SAX Set, Single Coil Pickups for Strat Style Electric Guitar

The EMG SAX Set in Black delivers the clarity, punch, and noiseless performance EMG is known for—refined with the added warmth, dynamic response, and organic feel of the company’s X‑Series preamp. Designed for Strat‑style guitars, the SAX set offers a more open, expressive voice than traditional active pickups, giving players the articulation of a vintage single‑coil with the headroom and consistency of an active system. The result is a set that feels alive under your fingers, responding naturally to picking dynamics and subtle playing nuances.

Each pickup in the SAX set features EMG’s alnico magnet design, producing smooth highs, balanced mids, and tight, controlled lows. The X‑Series preamp expands the dynamic range, allowing the pickups to breathe more like passive single‑coils while retaining EMG’s signature low‑noise performance. Whether you’re playing worship, blues, funk, pop, or modern rock, the SAX set delivers clean, glassy tones, punchy rhythms, and articulate leads with zero hum—on stage, in the studio, or at home.

Perfect for players who want the reliability of active electronics without sacrificing warmth or expressiveness, the EMG SAX Set is a premium upgrade for any Strat‑style guitar. It’s versatile, musical, and engineered for professional performance in any environment.
