Description
EMG JMaster System Black – Active Prewired Pickguard Set
The EMG JMaster System Black brings studio-grade clarity and articulation to Jazzmaster tracking, eliminating wiring complexity and hum in one drop-in assembly. This complete prewired pickguard pairs hand-wound noiseless single coils with surgical mid and treble controls, letting recording engineers and producers shape tonal character without soldering or troubleshooting.
Active Electronics for Capture & Mix Integration
Dual hand-wound Alnico 5 single coils operate on a single 9-volt battery with an estimated 400-hour lifespan, delivering 0.50V output per string and 0.80V on full strum for consistent session dynamics. The onboard control set includes a dedicated SPC mid-boost, EXG bass/treble boost, and a 12dB clean boost, granting surgical command over attack, sustain, and tonal character across bridge and neck positions—essential for dialing in the exact tone your mix demands without post-processing.
Noise-Free Recording & Studio Reliability
The 3-ply black pickguard hosts stacked-coil construction for hum-free operation during silent recording sessions and high-gain overdubs alike. EMG's solderless wiring kit ensures straightforward installation and minimal downtime between takes, and the entire system is made in USA, reflecting the company's long-standing commitment to component quality and studio-session reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level do I need to install this system?
Installation is beginner-friendly; the solderless wiring kit and prewired pickguard assembly eliminate soldering and complex rewiring. If your Jazzmaster accepts a standard pickguard and your electronics cavities align, you can swap it in and play.
How long does the battery last?
The single 9-volt battery has an estimated 400-hour lifespan under normal playing conditions. You'll want to keep a spare 9V on hand for gigs and sessions.
What kind of tone should I expect?
You get articulate, hum-free single-coil clarity with punchy output and responsive dynamics. The onboard SPC mid-boost, EXG bass/treble boost, and 12dB clean boost let you shape attack and sustain for indie, alternative, and high-gain recording without the noise typical of passive Jazzmasters.
Is this pickup system compatible with my Jazzmaster?
This assembly is designed as a drop-in pickguard set for standard Jazzmaster bodies. Confirm that your guitar's electronics cavities and pickguard routing match the EMG assembly before purchase; body modifications may be required for some vintage or custom Jazzmasters.
What's included in the box?
You get the 3-ply black pickguard with two prewired hand-wound Alnico 5 active noiseless single coils, all onboard controls (volume, tone, mid-boost, bass/treble boost, clean boost), the solderless wiring kit, and a 3-way switch. Made in USA.
