The Steve Lukather Signature in the EMG Range
Designed around the needs of a session and touring guitarist, the EMG SL20 combines active pickups with a strong character in a pickguard format ready to fit a Strat-style guitar. The goal: to provide an immediately usable palette of sounds, from defined clean tones to dense overdrives, while maintaining excellent clarity.
For Which Guitarists and Guitars?
This set is aimed at musicians who want to modernize their instrument with a coherent and efficient system: rock, pop, fusion, funk, shred, or contexts requiring a clear and quiet sound. The presence of two single-coils allows for snappy and articulate tones, while the EMG 85 delivers a thicker register for riffs, solos, and heavy distortion.
A Set Designed for S-S-H Versatility
The SL20 combines two Steve Lukather signature single-coil pickups for precision and clarity with an EMG 85 humbucker for power and warmth. The result: a balanced S-S-H configuration, with consistent output levels across positions and a very controlled response to maintain definition even with high gain.

This kit is a killer. Easy to set up on a Strat but largely modifiable to adapt it to any other guitar (Ibanez SA260 for me) it produces crystal-clear sounds and distortions worthy of the Toto guitarist. To buy with your eyes closed =)
