Collection: EMG

EMG, Inc. (originally Dirtywork Studios, renamed in 1983) is a Californian company founded by Rob Turner in 1976, pioneering the first active guitar pickups with onboard preamps. Their high-output active humbuckers (e.g., the EMG 81, 85, and 60) became staples in hard‑rock and metal, widely used by Metallica, Slayer, Zakk Wylde, and others, due to their clarity, tight response, and minimal noise. EMG also offers passive HZ and X-series pickups, along with wiring accessories; all models feature easy solder‑free installations and are built in the USA
