EMG F-Marty Friedman Long Shaft Passive Humbucker Pickup Set in Brushe

EMG F-Marty Friedman Long Shaft Passive Humbucker Pickup Set in Brushed Chrome

The EMG F-Marty Friedman set captures the articulate, dynamic character that defined Friedman's signature recordings—a pair of passive humbuckers voiced for clarity and harmonic complexity in high-gain and moderate-gain tracking. The long shaft configuration and solderless connector system streamline the retrofit, while the included potentiometer suite and wiring harness provide everything needed for a complete electronics installation in your recording instrument.

Tone & Recording Response

Built on Alnico 5 magnets with a consistent 275 Gauss strength in both positions, these pickups generate warm, articulate response without excessive mud or compression—ideal for cutting through dense mixes and maintaining definition on overdubs. The neck pickup's 7.55 kOhm resistance and 4.3 Henry inductance balance clarity and sustain for clean-toned passages and rhythm layers, while the bridge's 16.2 kOhm resistance and 8.58 Henry inductance add definition and presence—the 3.00 kHz and 2.25 kHz resonant frequencies ensure focused midrange that sits well in dense arrangements across both positions.

Integration & Setup

The 49mm standard spacing and 18.7mm threaded long shaft integrate into most modern and vintage guitar cavities without modification, minimizing instrument downtime. The solderless connector system and included four-conductor wiring eliminate soldering requirements; the complete hardware package—dual 500k volume and tone potentiometers, stereo output jack, pickup bus, mounting hardware, and connecting cables—covers the full retrofit in one set, enabling rapid turnaround between studio sessions.
