EMG pickups for a versatile guitar
« on: October 03, 2017, 05:55:37 AM »
hello

i would like to have a versatile guitar with EMG pickups

from funk to blues to heavy metal using the bar and the harmonics

so,  i think about EMG's because i only have a little guitar with EMG sv sv 85 and i like it
but it's not enough : no tremolo and just a sv (strat ) for the neck pickup
The problem is like warm tones from a humbucker and classic vintage single coils tones too

so, i thought a bout the Gilmour set but maybe with an EMG 85

or sa sa 85 + boost for the SA

in the shops, it's strange there are not guitar like that
we have DEAN mab= emg Sa in the middle and HSH

we have Lâg with EMG s which is not a SA
we have Vigier with an expensive model

we have Lukather and his look but i would prefer a better double cutaway or 24 frets

and EMG told me that EMG Slv is not strat at all: it's like a mini humbucker so i don"t know what to think

i know the ESP glen Tipton with 2 EMG 81 signature +tremolo = ok i don't know if it's a good guitar considering his signature model is a pure ESP and not LTD-ESP with a different price

or i should find a strat first but i would prefer 24 frets : it's better for comfort

Pretty much describing the Reb Beach setup, for the most part

this one has  an alder body

more confort with 24 frets
EMG SA (so not like Lukather with SLV) for vintage tones

or i should find a LUKAther model

i finally forgot the idea because i wanted a Gibson scale

so, i have this with EMG's

for a Fender scale, the others would be good
but i doubt the SA would sound strat

it will be hotter
