The EMG-81 is a high output active humbucking pickup designed for lead guitarist. Best used in the Bridge position with an EMG-85 in the neck. The EMG81 is at it's best used for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. It is a favourite of Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield of Metallica. One of the most popular EMG’s the 81 is the one that started a revolution. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone was designed with detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain. Traditionally used in the bridge position, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix. When used in both neck and bridge positions the sound can only be described as blistering. Other recommended pairings include the classic 81/85 setup and the versatile 81/60 combo.
