Description

• The slightly more sophisticated and well-rounded half of its famous brother, the EMG 81
• Features close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets for exceptional tone and versatility
• The Alnico magnets provide a muscular growl and smooth leads for everything from the blues to the most extreme metal
• Although often used in the neck position, it sounds great as a bridge humbucker with its exceptional smoothness and soul
• Pairs well with just about every other humbucker in our line.EMG's solderless installation makes swapping your guitar pickups easy to do at home

Although the EMG-85 has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy. Its a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an 81 in the bridge, which is the same pickup combination used by Zakk Wylde.
