Independent shopping perspective
EMG’s JMaster set combines Alnico V magnets and wide stacked coils with a Retro Active preamp design. The hand-built pickups come with a solderless wiring kit arranged for master volume and master tone control. For an upgrade project, that wiring approach is intended to install in an existing instrument without modifications. EMG describes the design as retaining vintage-style feel and response while providing the benefits of an active preamp.
