Description
EMG P60 Active P90-Size Humbucker Pickup in Ivory
The EMG P60 captures the warmth and articulation of a classic P90 in a compact humbucker footprint, with the clarity and punch of active electronics built in. This ceramic magnet pickup delivers vintage character paired with modern responsiveness, making it ideal for tracking sessions where midrange focus and low noise floor are essential—no hum, no compromise on signal integrity.
Active Electronics & Recording Response
The integrated preamp operates across a wide voltage range, giving you flexibility in powering options while maintaining consistent output and low noise throughout long sessions. With dedicated volume and tone controls included, you can shape your signal in real time during tracking or dial in the perfect tonal pocket before committing to tape—the 2.20 MHz resonant frequency centers the pickup's response in the sweet spot between clarity and warmth, cutting through mixes in blues, classic rock, and modern rock productions.
Installation & Routing Considerations
The P90-size footprint fits standard P90 cavities without routing, and the 3.125" screw spacing matches common offset humbucker configurations. All necessary components—pots, jacks, cables, and mounting hardware—ship with the pickup, streamlining setup and keeping your workflow moving without sourcing additional parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this pickup fit my guitar without routing?
Yes. The P90-size footprint and 3.125" screw spacing fit standard P90 cavities and common offset humbucker configurations without modification. The package includes all necessary mounting hardware for a straightforward installation.
What's included in the box, and do I need to buy extra parts?
The pickup ships with a 25k volume pot, 25k tone pot, battery bus, stereo output jack, cables, and all mounting hardware—everything you need to install it. Batteries are not included; the pickup operates on 9V–27V power with approximately 3000 hours of battery life per set.
How does the P60 compare to passive P90s or other humbuckers?
The P60 combines the warm, midrange-focused character of a classic P90 with the low noise, clarity, and consistent output of active electronics—avoiding the noise floor of passive designs. Its 2.20 MHz resonant frequency centers the response between vintage warmth and modern articulation, making it versatile for blues, classic rock, and modern rock without sacrificing punch or sustain.
What genres work best with this pickup?
The P60 excels in blues, classic rock, hard rock, and modern rock applications where midrange clarity and articulation are priorities. It is not designed for metal or thrash metal, where heavier gain and more aggressive voicing are typically preferred.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
