The EMG 85 humbucker is the slightly more sophisticated and well-rounded half of the 81 model, it is a powerful guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. It uses Alnico V magnets and close aperture coils to provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. Famed for its use in the neck position it also sounds great as a bridge humbucker thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. The EMG 85 pickup features their solderless system for quick and easy installation, it comes with everything you need including a 25k volume and a 25k tone pot, stereo output jack, battery connector and all required connector wires (pickups can be soldered if required).
