Frequently Asked Questions
The EMG J single coil in the neck position softens the high-end and adds warmth, creating a more balanced and versatile tone than a full humbucker configuration.
It's a substantial change – it likely coilsplits or alters pickup phasing, opening up different tonal possibilities beyond the standard humbucker/single coil pairing.
The U-shape is generally a bit thicker than their slimmer C profiles, offering a more substantial feel that some players find more comfortable for extended playing sessions.
