@ESPsandEmgs Awwwww XD I have EMG 89 that has that split switch. He sounds like 85 on double and SA on single coil :D It is not that bad :D I have VOX AD 50VT amp so basically I have great sound, on neck position I have SLV single coil, but I didn't put pick up on the mid position, can't decide yet, should I go another SLV or what XD
I love my EMG guitars, they would not be my top choice for Jazz, Blues, or anything clean...but they are really still the best at what they do, and that is to kick ass. By the way, the 85 is a terrible pickup, the only people who want them are kids who think they are Zakk Wylde! The 81-60 is such a better set up, and for the record, I have a dual 81 Strat, a 81 60 Les Paul Custom, 81 60 Les Paul Studio, 81 60 Esp Eclipse! Its all in the style of music you enjoy playing!
@TheCollisionofworlds I'm a Luthier by trade. The EMG Zakk Wylde set is the number one pickup set I get asked to install by far. Mostly these are going into Epi Les Pauls. These are run into a chainsaw sounding amp (with a pedal in front of it) But no one brings me a PRS or a real Les Paul or a Strat for a set.
@96MetalMonster i tried so hard to like emg's i had 3 guitars with them hoping that different combos of woods would help but what i realized is it doesnt matter because every guitar sounds exactly the same with emgs theyre great for certain things but utter shit for most things. they're the most sterile hospital sounding pickups ever. the only ones ive ever liked are the new passives that are regular alinco 5 pickups with emg written on them because theyre not active tone suckers
@96MetalMonster I have a Red Quilt C1Hellraiser. That I like a lot. I added the Strat presence (SPC) control & it makes for beautiful, almost acoustic clean tones. The SA is a nice sounding pick up too. Cheers
I LOVE TOTO AND STEVE LUKATER =)
