EMG57/66 Set Brushed Chrome
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
EMG’s 57/66 set combines a bridge-voiced 57 with a neck-voiced 66, both finished with brushed metal caps. The 57 uses Alnico V magnets and steel pole pieces for a PAF-like quality, with active headroom and punch aimed at definition and presence. The 66 pairs Alnico V magnets with ceramic pole pieces, bringing warm, smooth midrange and expansive lows while retaining clarity higher up the register. Together, the set assigns distinct roles to bridge and neck positions.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar setups needing separate bridge and neck pickup voices in one matched set.
- Players using overdriven or high-definition bridge sounds alongside warmer neck textures.
