A pickup system that's totally original. The RA-5 utilises EMG's extraordinary Retro Active technology to provide you with completely unique sound. Passive pickup systems are well-loved for their characterful, classic sound. However, many players have found that they can lack power, and often suffer from unpleasant hum and feedback.
With their Retro Active system, EMG have brought the classic passive sound that so many players crave, into a punchy active pickup set. Modern, active pickups have their own individual preamps, which allow you to play with greater volume and communicate your music clearly and with more accuracy. You can enjoy the brilliant 50s and 60s Strat sound at high output and with supreme clarity. Authentic vintage tones have never sounded so clear and defined.
Pickups that will never hold you back. The EMG RA-5 Pro provides you with a tremendously large range of tones to use in your playing. A trio of pickups give you power and balance in your music. 5-way pickup switching means you can alter which pickups you're using, while two tone controls let you shape your sound even further. This is perfect for any guitarist who is tired of being restrained in their creativity by pickups that don't deliver wide-reaching tone. Make your guitar sound exactly how you want it to.
Modifying your guitar's pickups can be difficult and tiresome. With a stack of different components and fiddly bits of equipment to install, the process can be tough and frustrating. EMG have removed this hassle. With the RA-5, they've found the solution to the problem by giving you an upgraded pickup system that doesn't take hours to install. All controls and pickups are pre-mounted to a black pickguard, meaning it's quick and simple to fit to your guitar. Start playing with enhanced tone as soon as possible.
