Emg history
Emg company history timeline
The company was founded in 1976 by Rob Turner in Long Beach, California.
In 1981, EMG active pickups became standard equipment on Steinberger basses and guitars.
The name was changed to EMG, Inc. in 1983 ("EMG" stands for "Electro-Magnetic Generator"). As Steinberger guitars became more popular among American metal and rock musicians, so did EMG pickups, and vice versa.
The name was changed to "Overlend" (spelled "Overland" in some sources) in 1978. It was originally called Dirtywork Studios, and their first pickup was the same as their current 2011 model of EMG H and EMG HA models.
