Product Description

EMG 85 BK, Guitar Pickup

Active pickups in electric guitars are where opinions differ: But one thing must also be admitted by skeptics: The EMG pickups sound fantastic and produce no background noise, and the long list of prominent users (including David Gilmour, Steve Lukather and Metallica's Kirk Hammett) simply speaks for itself!

The EMG 85 is modelled on the legendary PAF, uses Alnico magnets and therefore sounds warm and melodious without emphasising certain frequencies. Pure guitar! Black with gold EMG logo.

  • Humbucker
  • Active version
  • No background noise
  • No humming
  • Alnico magnets
  • Warm attack with rich trebles and mids
  • Very similar to PAF
  • EMG logo gold
  • With potentiometers
  • Colour: Black
