The EMG 89X is a clever pickup – it genuinely gives you the best of both worlds. It's a great choice for players seeking a versatile, articulate neck pickup that can handle everything from clean jazz to slightly overdriven rock, without the harshness sometimes associated with active pickups. Ideal for those who want a blend of vintage warmth and modern clarity.
