Guitar virtuoso Marty Friedman relies on only the best to deliver his unique and outstanding guitar mastery. EMG has been part of this equation for the former Megadeth guitarist for many years. EMG President and Founder, Rob Turner, set out to develop a brand new passive signature setup for Marty that delivered all the dynamic response, power, punch and clarity that only EMG can offer.
With alnico 5 magnets and a completely new recipe for winding the custom coils, the result was exactly what Marty had been looking for. Available in Marty's favorite brushed black chrome finish, these pickups look as deadly as they sound. "When I heard this pickup, I knew it was 'the one' because it made me want to keep playing and never stop. This is my soundscape. I'm glad EMG took the time to get it right.
