Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The EMG 81 is a legend for a reason. It's your go-to for screaming leads and crushing rhythm tones in high-gain genres – think metal, hard rock, and progressive. Its aggressive output and clarity really cut through, but be mindful of the scooped mids and potential harshness; some EQ tweaking might be needed.
