Members scolfax Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Has anyone tried the EMG SAX pickups? Supposed to be like an SA but with more "headroom". I'm not sure what that means in the context of a pickup, but the review in Premier Guitar implied that they sounded more strat-like than the SA's. I'm toying with the idea of putting together a Gilmour-style pickguard (Pulse era) with SAX's instead of SA's, but am having a tough time finding any good info about them.

Members The Rossness Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 I had one in the neck of my gary kramer delta wing. It was great for classic rock tones where less gain is needed, but didn't really scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inkblot Posted January 24, 2010 Members Share Posted January 24, 2010 Greater dynamic range/higher peak output I expect. Running at 18V is supposed to do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
