EMG 85 Black Chrome Humbucker-pickup

Humbucker pickup that is one of EMGs first pickups and the slightly more sophisticated and well-rounded half of its famous brother, the 81 pickup. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, it is a powerful guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. The Alnico magnets of this model provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones enabling user to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. Although often used in the neck position, it sounds great as a bridge pickup thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. This pickup pairs well with just about every other humbucker in EMG’s line and using the solderless system, it makes changing the tone easier than ever. Black Chrome colour.
