EMG Camo 81 / 85 Pickup Set - Hardwired
This pickup
set contains one EMG-85 and one EMG-81 humbucker. Both pickups include
EMG's Quik-Connect cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set,
output jack, battery clip set, screws, and springs.
EMG-81
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 and roll or
overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible
sustain for brilliant soloing.
EMG-85
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 low
end and a fatter top end. Because the EM-85 has a more natural tone, it
works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output
but isn't muddy. It's a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in
combination with an 81 in the bridge — the same pickup
combination used by Zakk Wylde.
