The EMG M-50 Mini Humbuckers Guitar Pickup, Short Shaft reimagines the classic design for the modern guitarist, packing a rich, powerful sound into a compact size. This pickup transcends the limitations of traditional mini-humbuckers, offering a perfect blend of vintage warmth and contemporary punch.

Unleash Your Inner Rock God
Supercharged Gain: Gone are the days of weak mini-humbuckers. The M-50's innovative magnetic structure and preamp push new boundaries, delivering a significant boost in gain output. This translates to thick, saturated tones ideal for overdrive and distortion effects, perfect for driving your Marshall into singing sustain or coaxing creamy smooth leads out of a Deluxe amp.

Precision-Crafted Tone
Classic Alnico 5 Magic: The M-50 stays true to its roots with a tried-and-true Alnico 5 magnet in a classic "U" configuration. This magnet selection imbues the pickup with a warm, smooth character and exceptional sustain, providing a platform for singing leads and complex chords.
Tight and Articulate: The mini-humbucker's inherent compact design is accentuated by the M-50's focused magnetic aperture. This results in a tight mid-range response that is reminiscent of a P-90 pickup, offering excellent articulation for both single-note runs and complex chord voicings. Cuts through a dense mix without sacrificing tonal clarity.

Built for Modern Performance
Quiet Operation: The M-50 operates silently, thanks to a cutting-edge preamp design that minimizes noise floor. This ensures pristine clean tones and a clear foundation for your overdriven sounds.
Passive Power, Active Performance: The M-50 is a passive pickup powered by a single 9-Volt battery. This simple design offers the warmth and character of traditional pickups while delivering exceptional headroom and low power consumption (only 1.3 Milli-Amps). Plus, no need to worry about messy wiring or complicated configurations.
Play Without Fear: The M-50 eliminates the need for string grounding, removing any potential risk of electrical shock.
Uncompromising Tone: The low-impedance output ensures consistent sonic character regardless of cable length. Play from the front of the stage to the back without worrying about tone degradation.
Designed to Fit: The M-50 is specifically designed for guitars equipped with Gibson Tune-o-matic bridges, with a maximum string width of 2 inches (51mm).
