EMG 81 Active Ceramic Bridge Humbucker (Improvement much greater than expected)
I replaced the stock pickup on a inexpensive guitar with the EMG 81. The original pickup was a regular Humbucker and sounded quite tinny and shrill. I thought perhaps it was due to the pickup being very close to the bridge and was not sure the EMG would make that much difference. However, I was amazed at the change in tone and clarity. It definitely increased the value of the… read more guitar and I am very satisfied. The fullness and quality of the tone is improved greatly. I have been watching too many YouTube videos showing how cheap pickups sound just as good. Not for me! I whole heartedly recommend the EMG 81 for your bridge pickup and will very likely buy more EMG pickups for other applications.
Excellent pickup
I haven't gotten to play it much, still finishing the guitar, but for a moment I had it all installed and it sounded awesome!
Great product
Have the 81 mounted (solo) in the bridge of a maple/alder strat. It's..... like nothing I've ever heard come out of my axe. Thing is though, there's no soldering amd everything is included. Make sure you order a replacement for your output plate- the EMG output sits quite differently in the pocket- less space to tilt it. Easy to install and sounds fkn great.
These babies got some power!
The ESP 81 pickups are killer! I have one of these and an EMG 85, let me tell you it made my guitar alive! Best pickup for hard rock/metal hands down!
Just a classic go to tone!
What else can you say then metal AF! If you want that go to metal tone this is your baby!
