EMG-81 Active Humbucker

The EMG-81 is a high-output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock 'n' roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.

Distortion during lead passages is consistent, sustain is long and the breakup fades smoothly. The ceramic magnet in combination with wide aperture steel poles lend a quick attack but the tone stays nice and fat at the same time. Perfect if you're the only guitarist in the band, and need to switch from rhythm to lead and still keep the band moving. Another great thing about the EMG-81 is it's quiet. If you're playing at really high gain the last thing you need is noise.

Clearly these are great metal pickups, but you may be surprised by the versatility if you're willing to give it a shot. DON"T EXPECT A VINTAGE SOUND. That's not what these are made to do. I know lots of guys who hate on EMG because they're after chasing the PAF dragon. I wanted to build a Prince guitar for kicks with one of these and an SA single coil. I was shocked and pleased, and I actually play it quite a lot. Great for some cool modern sounds with tons of clarity.
