Product Description
The EMG TCX X Series Tele Active Pickup Set/System - black. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!Swap the Alnico V magnets of our regular TX set with ceramics and you have the TCX. This two-pickup system is geared toward the high end with less emphasis on the mids. The TCX features a bright, clear, penetrating high end that's as naturally bright as we could design it without losing the harmonic sweetness typical of EMG designs. All in all, it's a tight, bright, aggressive sound. These are a direct replacement for a standard Telecaster.
The X series provide increased headroom giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMG's are renowned for. Give it a try and experience why the “X” factor is exciting players all around the world.
FTCX:
The FTCX is different from our FTX in that we designed it with ceramic magnets. The rest of the design is the same; custom engineered coil size and windings which give a fullness and broader bandwidth that Tele pickups never had before. All of this combines to give you a tone that is incredibly well balanced; rich and sweet on the bottom, and with the addition of ceramic magnets, a top end that has even more pronounced shimmer than the FTX. The FTCX has brilliance, clarity, and tone with clean quiet power.
RTCX:
Incorporating a ceramic magnet, the RTCX has the tone you expect. It has a bright top and a tight bottom that takes you out front when you need it. This is the rear pickup coponent of the TCX, and has a bright, clear, penetrating high end that's as naturally bright as we could design it without losing the harmonic sweetness typical of EMG designs.
Package Includes: Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Solderless Install System; split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.
