EMG's have the worse distortion ever... i work in the US thomann cyberstore and every year i ask the same thing: why are the EMG's more expensive than ibanez rg's?
Hi Riot, I don't wanna mean rude but it's a matter of getting used to the EMGs and learn how to use them. They can sound either crunchy or as clean as an acoustic guitar.
Hey Fireblade...hoping to get first strat soon after taking 2 college guitar courses due to hearing David Gilmours playing. How do you get the bell like tone from the strat..the EMG pickups or other effects? Need to get that sound...
EMG DG30 includes pickguard and its all mounted but is basically EMG SA pickups you can get them without the pickguard to upgrade your strat for 100 dollars less than the DG30 package.
Also if you are looking for the Gilmour sound start saving for the Hiwatt 50w tube head starting around $3500!
lol
Nice playing there mate
Im buying a American Standard Strat with EMG SA`s too very soon
i was ganna upgrade to emgs just like gilmour did but the only ones i can find are black emg sa what are yours there white like gilmours and no being nosey but how much the ones i were ganna get were 200 for the 3
Really sorry noel and osh, only just found your questions. Firslty, they are the EMG DG30s i.e. the David gilmour set. $300 off ebay including delivery to UK, half price what I could get them in the shop - they were sealed and brand new. Installed them myself, reaaly easy as they come attached to the pickguard too. Only 2 springs on my trem, and the 9v battery fits perfectly between them under the trem cover!! No hiss, try resoldering the connections.
whats up friend...i have a few questions for you...first how much did you pay for the pickups...second who installed them for you..third ,are they active pickups and if so where did they put the 9 volt battery..and last do you get a hissssing sound when you play with overdrive....the reason i ask is,i just bought a fender with emg pickups.paid 300 for the full setup.but they hiss when i put the overdrive on.can you answer some of these Q: thanks.
DG20. Got 'em off EBay from the States, even with delivery they were half the UK price and very easy to fit. Just got a decent echo pedal so I'm going to re-do the vid, it really does the DGs justice at long last and the sound is now gorgeous.
on offence but this guy has went into guitar centre and went 'your most expensive amplifier and your most crappest fx box'. Like mixing coke with champagne!
None taken Mahav, you're right. Never been able to get a 'proper' tone from the GT8, always sounds 'electronic' and is being junked in the near future.
try useing headphones

I like your cover of this Pink Floyd Classic!
Good tone. Sounds like LickLibrary Jamtrax backing(I used them too). Keep on jamming!
