Many don't know it, but Emerson Custom used to be Emerson Custom Guitars, and they made guitars and pickups too. This loaded pickguard features Emerson's typical attention to detail, neat wiring and top notch workmanship.

The staggered magnet pickups are wound in the upper 5K range and have that definite vintage style and feel. Glassy and clean at the neck with full, bouncy bass response, and plenty of quack when playing the neck+middle and middle+bridge positions. It's classic vintage tone in a simple drop-in package with high quality components and assembly throughout.

This Emerson loaded guard is a great turnkey solution for your next guitar project, and you get a little bit of early Emerson Custom history in the process.
