EMG 85-8 & 81-8 Active 8-string Humbucker Set, Red

Description

EMG 85-8 & 81-8 active 8-string humbucker pickup set, red. The 85-8 is based on one of EMGs first pickups, the 85. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the 85-8 is a powerful eight-string guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. The Alnico magnets of this model provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones, enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. Although often used in the neck position, make no mistake, the EMG 85-8 sounds great as a bridge pickup thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. This pickup pairs well with just about every other humbucker in the EMG line and- using their solderless system- makes changing your tone easier than ever. Based off the popular EMG 81, the 81-8 utilizes powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils to produce a detailed tone with incredible amounts of high end cut, and fluid sustain. Traditionally used in the bridge position of your seven string guitar, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. EMG's solderless wiring makes installing your guitar pickups easier than ever.
