Frequently Asked Questions
The brushed finish provides some scratch resistance, but fingerprints and smudges will be visible and require occasional cleaning.

The EMG 66 offers a more focused, slightly tighter low-end than the JB2, while being warmer and less aggressive than the 36th Anniversary, with the active circuit providing a distinct EMG characteristic.
