EMG 85
The 85 is one of EMG's first pickups and is the slightly more sophisticated and well rounded half of its famous brother, the 81. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the 85 is a powerful guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. Used Alnico magnets provide with a muscular growl and smooth lead tones, enabling to play everything from blues to the most extreme metal. Although often used in the neck position - the EMG 85 sounds great as a bridge humbucker, thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. This pickup pairs well with just about every other humbucker in EMG's line and uses an exclusive solderless system, making it extremely easy to replace.
• Magnets: Alnico V
