Give Your Strat a Pickup Transplant!

Want three great-sounding pickups and unrivaled ease of installation? With the EMG ST-65, you’ll get both, thanks to red-hot Alnico V magnets and a solderless, drop-in-ready design. Load this prewired pickguard into your Strat, and you’ll benefit from an aggressive, punchy sound, along with plentiful bite and ample output. Beyond that, a direct attack and lightning-quick response will add fuel and fire to every riff you play. The pickguard features a traditional 3-ply design, 5-position switch, two tone controls, and a master volume knob. You’ll love the classic look of the ST-65, along with its incredible, show-stopping tone.

Installation is a breeze

Loading the ST-65 into your Stratocaster is a breeze. It features a traditional design but sports a 2-pin connector for easy installation and tinkering — no soldering required! 

Aggressive, punchy Alnico V magnets

While Alnico III magnets sound vintage-y and Alnico IIs are chock-full of pronounced low-end muscle, Alnico Vs take it to a whole new level with aggressive tone and higher output. You’ll experience more brightness and bite, along with loads of low-mid punch. Beyond that, Alnico Vs have a magnetism of 1,000 Gauss, supplying you with a direct attack and rapid-fire response.

Clean, classic design

Once installed, the ST-65 provides a seamless look. It all starts with a traditional 3-ply, 11-hole pickguard. A modern 5-way pickup switch, dual tone controls, and master volume knob complete the package. With the ST-65, you’ll benefit from the classic Strat look that we’ve all come to know and love.
