Frequently Asked Questions
The 35P offers a more aggressive, scooped low-end than the classic EMG 35, making it ideal for heavier music and a more modern sound.
The extra-thin U profile is generally comfortable, but players with very small hands might find it a bit too slender – it’s best to try it in person if possible.
While beautiful, the satin finish is more susceptible to fingerprints and minor scratches than a gloss finish, requiring more frequent cleaning to maintain its appearance.
