The PJX-CS set features pickups that utilize both ceramic and steel magnets as well as the EMG X Series preamp for added dynamic range. The tone of these pickups are much warmer than our other PJ sets, giving players a smoother attack. Both the PX-CS and JX-CS maintain the characteristics of our pickups - low noise with dynamic response and increased frequency range - while offering a more subtle high end. Used separately or in combination, they offer endless bass tone options with a response and feel that bridges the gap between passive and active pickups. The result are low noise, dependable pickups with tones ranging from tight slap funk, rock, to smooth Motown grooves. With EMG's solderless wiring harness included, the PJX-CS Set is easy to install at home.

The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless single coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound that bridges the gap between active and passive.

Manufacturer's Note: Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.
