Product Info
* Prices may vary. Check retailer for current pricing and availability.
The EMG 89XR Black is a clever hybrid, blending humbucker warmth with single-coil chime. It's a great choice for players who want a more dynamic and nuanced neck pickup tone, especially those coming from a more traditional single-coil sound but craving the thicker feel of a humbucker. Perfect for modern rock, blues, or even jazz where you need a touch of vintage character.
