A Signature Set Tailored for Steve Lukather's Modern Playing Style
The EMG SL20-LH is part of the "collection" pickguards dedicated to guitarists seeking a clear and immediately usable sonic identity. Inspired by Steve Lukather's approach, this set emphasizes balance: clarity and detail for articulated parts, and solid performance when pushing the gain.
Who Is It For and Which Styles?
Designed for musicians wanting a complete and coherent pickup set, the SL20-LH suits session guitarists as well as rock, pop, fusion, and hard rock enthusiasts. The combination of two single-coils and an EMG 85 humbucker allows seamless transitions between clean rhythms, crunchy tones, and sustained solos, while maintaining clear attack and comfortable definition.
An Active HSS Configuration: Precision, Balance, and Impact
At the heart of this loaded pickguard are two Steve Lukather signature single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions: perfect for precise clean tones, arpeggios that cut through the mix, and dynamic rhythms. In the bridge position, the EMG 85 delivers a thicker, singing character, ideal for beefing up chords and adding body to leads. The entire set, featuring active pickups, aims for a consistent response and a controlled feel, making it easy to switch registers without excessive variation.
