One of the most popular EMG’s, the 81 is the
one that started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and
close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity,
incredible amounts of high end cut, and fluid sustain. Traditionally
used in the bridge position of your guitar, this humbucking pickup will
make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. When used in
both neck and bridge positions the sound can only be described as
blistering. Other recommended pairings include the classic 81/85 setup
and the versatile 81/60 combo. EMG's solderless installation makes
swapping your guitar pickups easier than ever.

Featuring two pickups in one, the 89 houses
separate preamps and coils for a custom humbucker and single coil sound
at your fingertips. Loaded with Alnico V magnets, the humbucker sound is
rich, warm and powerful, but still clear and articulate, similar to the
85. The single coil mode, accessed via the included push pull pot,
delivers the traditional Strat single coil sound: bright, airy, and
chimey, and is very similar to the EMG SA. In either mode, the clean
sound is gorgeously pristine and has a lot of presence. Used equally in
bridge and neck positions. Whether you are playing hard rock or jazz,
you can get it all with this beautifully balanced and versatile pickup.
