EMG SLVX Set – Steve Lukather Signature Single-Coil Pickup Set

[EMG SLVX Steve Lukather Complete Pickup Set Black]

Product Code: EMG SLVX set BK

The EMG SLVX set is a high-quality signature set crafted for guitar legend Steve Lukather. Based on the original SLV model, this set integrates an X-Series preamp, delivering a wider dynamic range, increased headroom, and enhanced output while maintaining the sophisticated tonal balance Lukather is famous for.

These pickups feature the VLPF active tone control, providing a smooth high-frequency roll-off identical to a traditional passive tone knob. By positioning the pole pieces closer to the strings, the set achieves superior precision and string-to-string clarity. This is the ultimate choice for your 6-string Stratocaster-style guitar, offering a silent, high-output sound with a refined attack. The set includes the EMG Solderless Install System, allowing for a professional, quick, and hassle-free upgrade without the need for soldering.

✨ Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ (Click to expand)

Q: Should I replace my existing pickup selector switch?
A: Yes, we recommend using the included 5-way switch. It is fully compatible with the EMG solderless system, saving you time and avoiding the need for soldering.

Q: Is the installation via the Solderless system difficult?
A: It is the easiest installation method available. The system is "plug & play," so if you can use a screwdriver, you can complete the setup at home without risking heat damage to the electronics.

Q: Can I use my original passive potentiometers?
A: No. Active EMG pickups require the specific 25k pots included in the set. Using standard 250k/500k pots will prevent the volume and tone controls from functioning correctly.

Q: Will a 9V battery fit inside my Strat-style guitar cavity?
A: Most instruments have enough space under the pickguard. If the cavity is tight, using a recessed battery box is the most professional and practical solution.

Q: Can I mix this set with other pickups in the same guitar?
A: To ensure stability, correct impedance, and signal purity, we strongly recommend using the SLVX as a complete, self-contained set without mixing it with other brands.
