EMG Super 77 Neck Active Humbucker Pickup in Black

This is a neck pickup designed for metal, hard rock, and progressive music—genres where articulate, controlled aggression and note clarity matter in high-gain settings. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or blues playing styles.

The pickup draws 350 mA at 9V and delivers approximately 1400 hours of battery life per cell. It supports supplies up to 27 V DC if you want to experiment with higher voltage configurations for different tonal characteristics.

The Super 77 produces 4.25 V output with a 3.1K ohm DC resistance, a 3.12 kHz resonant frequency, and a noise floor of −98 dB at 60 Hz, ensuring clean signal integrity even through long cable runs and complex pedalboards.

The solderless connectivity uses a 2-wire plus battery configuration that eliminates traditional wiring complexity and speeds up installation. The open-coil design and plug-on preamp reduce setup time and risk compared to traditional passive pickups.

The Super 77 is EMG's benchmark active humbucker, offering balanced articulation and note definition across a wide range of amp settings. It sits between high-output pure aggression and moderate-output clarity, making it versatile for both studio and live high-gain applications where consistent tonal character is priority.
