EMG JMaster System White – WBW Active Prewired Pickguard Set
The EMG JMaster System brings integrated active electronics to your recording chain as a complete, prewired solution. Combining Alnico V single-coil pickups with sophisticated onboard controls, this pickup system captures articulate, controlled tone with minimal phase issues. The multi-laminate pickguard construction reduces microphonics and feedback—critical for tracking clean takes—while the solderless install eliminates wiring complexity and lets you focus on capturing performances.
Active Electronics & Tone Shaping for Mix Flexibility
The system pairs Alnico V pickups with an active preamp circuit that delivers 0.50V output on single strings and 0.80V when strummed, providing consistent, articulate response across the frequency spectrum with plenty of headroom for your interface or console. The SPC Presence Control boosts midrange definition during tracking, while the EXG Expander shapes overall voicing to cut through dense arrangements. Master Volume and Master Tone controls enable real-time adjustment across sessions without reaching for external processors.
Battery Runtime & Session Workflow
A single 9-volt battery powers the system and delivers approximately 400 hours of runtime at 1.20 milliamps current draw, keeping your tone consistent across multi-day sessions without unexpected power loss. The 3-position selection switch provides quick access to different pickup voicings during overdubs, and the solderless install system gets the electronics into your instrument without requiring soldering expertise or external tech support.

At a Glance
The EMG JMaster System delivers studio-grade active electronics in a prewired pickguard format, pairing Alnico V pickups with onboard presence and expander controls to capture articulate, noise-free recordings with minimal effort. Home engineers and producers get professional output specifications (0.50V single-string, 0.80V strummed), a -120 dBV noise floor, and immediate tonal shaping tools—all without soldering, making session integration quick and intuitive. Record indie, pop, and clean-toned material with the presence-boosted character that sits clearly in a mix while maintaining single-coil authenticity.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | Home Recording, Practice, Indie, Pop |
|---|---|
| Tonal character | Articulate midrange, controlled output, low noise, clean single-coil character, presence-boosted |
| Less specialized for | Metal, Thrash Metal (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |
| Skill level | Beginner / Intermediate / Advanced |
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to solder this into my Jazzmaster?
No. The EMG solderless wiring system eliminates soldering entirely, making installation straightforward for players of any skill level. The prewired pickguard drops into compatible Jazzmaster bodies without requiring electronics expertise.
What kind of tone does this system deliver?
This system combines clean single-coil character with active electronics for controlled, articulate response. The Alnico V pickups emphasize midrange clarity at 3.15 kHz, while the SPC Presence Control boosts presence and the EXG Expander shapes overall voicing, making it suited to indie and pop rather than metal.
How often will I need to change the battery?
The 9-volt battery delivers approximately 400 hours of runtime at normal current draw (1.20 mA), meaning you can typically go several months between changes depending on playing frequency.
What controls does this system include?
The system features SPC Presence Control, EXG Expander, Master Volume, Master Tone, and a 3-position pickup selection switch for quick access to different voicings and real-time tonal adjustment.
What is the output noise level?
The system achieves -120 dBV output noise specification, delivering low-noise performance suitable for both live and recording applications with minimal hum or interference.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $27 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
