EMG JMaster System Ivory – TS Active Prewired Pickguard Set
The EMG JMaster System Ivory captures articulate, punchy single-coil character with the controlled noise floor and output consistency that active electronics provide. This prewired pickguard set installs into any offset body with 13-hole routing, offering plug-and-play convenience without soldering required. Built for home studio tracking and session work where clarity, cut, and consistency across multiple takes matter—maintaining the snap and responsiveness of classic single-coil design while eliminating the variables that hum and noise introduce to recordings.
Active Electronics & Recording Tone
Dual JMaster pickups with Alnico V magnets and stacked-coil construction generate 0.50V output on single strings and 0.80V on full strums, ensuring articulate note definition and aggressive midrange presence that translates predictably through preamps and into your DAW. The active circuit maintains a –120 dBV noise floor and 2.00 kΩ output impedance, eliminating hum while preserving the natural frequency response centered at 3.15 kHz—a sweet spot that cuts through dense mixes and sits naturally in band recordings without requiring heavy EQ intervention.
Installation & Powering Sessions
The complete system requires only a 9V battery with an estimated lifespan of approximately 400 hours under normal use. EMG's solderless wiring system enables fast, reliable installation with zero soldering skill required—the pickguard arrives fully prewired and ready to drop into a compatible offset body, keeping setup time minimal and troubleshooting nonexistent once installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What body does this pickguard fit?
This prewired pickguard set fits any offset body with standard 13-hole routing, such as Jazzmaster-style instruments. The set arrives fully assembled and ready to drop in without modification.
Do I need to solder anything to install it?
No. EMG's solderless wiring system means the pickguard is completely prewired; you simply connect it to your guitar's pots and battery cavity using the included wire conductors. No soldering skill required.
How long does the 9V battery last?
The 9V battery provides approximately 400 hours of normal use before needing replacement. Battery life depends on playing time and volume settings.
What genres and playing styles is this best suited for?
This system excels in Indie, Rock, and Pop contexts where clarity, midrange cut, and noise-free operation matter. It is not recommended for Metal or Traditional Jazz applications.
What makes this different from passive Jazzmaster pickups?
The active circuit eliminates hum and noise completely while delivering high output consistency and aggressive midrange presence at 3.15 kHz. You retain the snap and responsiveness of single-coil design without the noise floor issues of passive pickups.
