Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the 85 is a powerful pickup with exceptional tone and versatility.
Plenty of output with a balance of tones that is classic-thick: boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. Works great for rhythm guitar as metal and extreme players have discovered.
Dual internal preamps, one tuned for single-coil mode and the other for dual-coil mode, give the 81TW two distinct sounds.
The EMG-ZW is a combination of our EMG-81 and 85 pickups in a system designed to fit into Les Paul guitars.
Most well known as a founding member of Toto, Steve Lukather's style is unique. He is known for fast, melodic lines that often combine blues phrases with jazzy 'out' notes.
2 pickups in 1! A SA single coil and a 85 humbucker. You can change from the crunch of a humbucker to the clarity of a single-coil.
With incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain, this pickup will make your leads slice right through even the densest mix.
