EMGM-72 Set Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
EMG’s black M-72 set is an active dual-coil pickup design using individual Alnico 2 rod magnets. Its key fit requirement is string spacing: the narrow sensing width is made for Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge spacing, with a maximum width of about 2 inches (51 mm). The low-impedance output is designed to keep its sound consistent when used with either a cable or a wireless system, and the two-pickup setup draws 1.3 mA from a 9-volt battery.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitars built around Gibson Tune-o-matic bridge string spacing within the 2-inch maximum width.
- Players using cable and wireless setups who want the pickup output to remain consistent.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Bridge-position installation on Floyd Rose-equipped guitars.
- Guitars whose string width exceeds approximately 2 inches (51 mm).
