EMG 60 Gold
Item: EGEMG60G
The EMG 60 packs plenty of output
with a balance of tones that is classic-thick; boosted mids, big lows
and fat highs. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with ceramic
magnets, this model has rich tonal characteristics that gives full
treble response for distinct single-note solos and buttery harmonic
overtones to provide some serious meat to your playing. Traditionally
used in the rhythm position for everything from clean bluesy tones to
hard rocking crunchiness. Pair it up with an 81 and you have yourself a
versatile creation that will make your guitar sing.
During their search for
sourcing the best available “chrome” finish cover cap, they found that
the available products could not be ordered with any consistency. Most
importantly, since the manufacturing process would not be controlled by
EMG, there was no way of knowing how the sound and tonal performance
characteristics of their pickups would be affected. This characteristic
was something that also could vary from batch to batch. Finally, they
could not find any US manufacturers. EMG knew at that point, that the
“buy” solution would not work for them.
Since putting a nickel or chrome plating on a common base metal is
just a low cost way to simulate polished stainless steel, EMG decided
to look at the feasibility of doing the real thing. This was the
“build” solution. EMG engineers worked out a way to produce a one
piece, high quality, mirror polished, stainless steel cover cap while
maintaining comparable pricing to the plated versions. In addition, the
sound and tonal properties were virtually identical to their molded
cover caps, and controlling the process guarantees the consistency and
high quality level of the products. EMG is pleased to now offer
humbuckers in the real deal, mirror polished stainless steel, known as
“Chrome EMG’s”.
The “gold” version is the same polished stainless steel cover cap
with a gold colored finish that is commonly used to harden machine
tools. It is a finish that both hardens the cover cap surface and
penetrates the stainless steel substrate, rather than surface coating
it as a plating would. This assures a durable, longer lasting surface
finish that will stand up to your pounding riffs and all the abuse the
road can dish out.
