'''EMG, Inc.''' is the current legal name of the company started in [[1976]] manufacturing [[guitar]] [[pickups]], which have always been called '''EMG''' pickups. "EMG" stands for "[[Electromagnetic|Electro-Magnetic]] [[Generator]]". The company was originally called "Dirtywork Studios"; this name was changed to "Overland" in [[1978]], and then to the current name in [[1983]].
EMG has over the years garnered a reputation as one of the best maufacturers of guitar pickups and are now used as standard on the more expensive models of guitar manufacturers such as [[ESP Guitars]]. The EMG-81 pickup in particular is credited with creating the unique sound produced by many metal bands, most prominently [[Metallica]] and [[Slayer]].
