General

Pre-mounted on an ST-style pickguard for easy installation, the EMG SL20 pre-wired pickup set has been curated by Toto guitarist, Steve Lukather, planting the iconic warmth of an 85 humbucker at the bridge and the renowned, versatile tone of SLV single-coils at the neck and in the middle.

The EMG SL20: Beat It!

The single-coils are based on classic SAV pickups, but feature extra winding to beef up the output, completing a full-bodied foundation. The included battery clip and output jack are both part of the EMG solderless system, so you can kit out most ST-style electric guitars with this sweet loadout within mere minutes and without the need for a soldering iron.

EMG SL20 Steve Lukather Active Pre-wired Pickup Set with Pickguard
Wrote the following about EMG SL20 Steve Lukather Active Pre-wired Pickup Set with Pickguard
Alleen maar lovende woorden over dit product. Kwam op tijd, goed verpakt. De installatie was - volgens mijn gitaartechnicus - ook simpel om te doen. Pastte zo op mij Squier Contemporary Strat. Let er wel op dat je genoeg uitsparing hebt bij het gedeelte onder de volume- en toonregelaars. Ondanks dat ik een HH-routing had was er niet genoeg ruimte. Product wordt zelfs met stereo output-jack geleverd.

Als je fan bent van Steve Lukather en jaren 80 gitaar dan is dit product zeker aan te raden. De pickups hebben attack, clarity (helder), articulatie en een vrij hoge output die je gemakkelijk kan controleren met de volumeknop. Klinkt gelijk als Lukather. Vanwege de hoge output misschien een beetje spelen met de pickup hoogte, maar dat is makkelijk te doen. Ook voor cleans geweldig vanwege bovengenoemde redenen. En ander bijkomend voordeel is - doordat het een actief circuit is - dat je pedalboard een beter en stabieler signaal binnenkrijgt. Van (hard) rock naar cleans klinken ze geweldig. Echt een aanrader!

Le kit EMG SL20 a été initialement conçu pour Steve Lukather de Toto.
Micros simples EMG SLV et le double est un EMG 85, les trois micros utilisent des aimants en Alnico 5.
Un volume actif et un tone en passif.

L'installation est très simple et facile à condition d'avoir la cavité du micro aigu routée pour un humbucker. Aucune soudure à effectuer, toutes les connexions des câbles se font avec des fiches.
La pile 9 volts se place sous les potentiomètres, il y a largement la place.
A l'usage les micros simples conservent le son et le caractère d'une Stratocaster avec un niveau de sortie plus élevé si on met le volume à 10.
Néanmoins ce contrôle de volume permet d'ajuster de façon très précise le son, on peut vraiment sculpter son son et cerise sur le gâteau aller d'un son clean à saturé juste par une rotation du volume.

Le volume et le tone sont intrinsèquement liés et juste deux potentiomètres pour contrôler l'ensemble se révèle être un choix très judicieux.
Le micro chevalet est excellent et lui aussi très versatile grâce aux contrôles. Je peux jouer avec un son vintage à la AC/DC ou ZZ Top et avoir un sustain à la Santana avec le volume et le tone sans modifier le réglage de l'ampli.

Il est à noter que le tone permet d'obtenir ce fameux woman tone cher à Carlos et Eric sans que ça devienne boueux.
Les micros sont hyper balancés et excellents sur une large gamme de fréquences par rapport à des micros passifs.

J'avais été conquis par un set EMG DG20 David Gilmour et je peux dire que ce set SL20 m'a aussi bluffé, pour les deux sets pas de ronflette, beaucoup de clarté avec des contrôles dignes de ce nom.

Bonifier sa Strat pour un budget raisonnable, les deux sets dont je dispose sont excellents.
