EMG EMG-85 Humbucker ActiveGuitar Pickup Gold Cover

Long Shaft Version


Item Description
 

Althoughthe EMG-85 Humbucker has more measurable output than the 81, itsfrequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses 2Alnico magnet-loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it worksgreatas a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn'tmuddy. It's a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an81 in the bridge.

The midrange has great definition and doesn'tget foggy or muddy in the rhythm position. The EMG-85 guitar pickupworks best if you like the natural distortion that comes fromoverdriving the front end of your amp. Under any condition, it respondsaccurately to your technique.
