PICKUP AND MAGNET DIMENSIONS:
All EMG-40 Models have the same housing dimensions (shown above).
The drawings below show the magnet placement for all versions. You should check the width of your strings against the magnet dimensions below
to make sure there is sufficient string coverage. A rule of thumb for any pickup is that the total magnet width should be the string width plus twice
the distance the pickup is from the strings. So, If the pickup is 3/16” (5mm) from the strings, with a magnet width of 3.46“ (88mm) the maximum
string width would be 3.00” (78mm). If your strings are too wide for the pickups shown below, choose one of the EMG-45 Extended Series Pickups,
with a 4.5 inch (114mm) housing, where similar styles of EMG pickups are available.
