EMG Pickups have sponsored guitarist Jon Maggard of America’s hardcore metal heroes Fist Fight! Tommy Armstrong-Leavitt of the world famous EMG Pickups welcomed Jon with this, “When we here at EMG get in a fist fight, it’s great to have Jon Maggard on our team. Welcome to the EMG family!”

Maggard had this to say, “I can’t believe that I’m on the same roster as some of my idols. It’s an honor to be part of the EMG family. I just love the EMG tones. There is nothing in comparison. When you need that squeal or that deep crunch, it’s there every time. EMG pickups take me straight to BEAST MODE.”

Jon’s band Fist Fight has dropped their stellar sophomore album Notebook Full of Hate to an eagerly awaiting fan base. Notebook Full of Hate is a 12 song anthem of brute anger filled with smashing guitar work, beyond heavy breakdowns and crushing vocals all aimed at the everyday world around us. Notebook is the follow up to Fist Fight’s groundbreaking Conflict album which was released in 2014 to universal acclaim from critics and fans alike.
