EMG Guitar Pickups
Overview:
Since their inception in 1976, EMG, Inc. has been at the forefront of manufacturing high-quality guitar pickups. Renowned for their clear sound, EMG pickups have become a favorite among professional artists. Brands like ESP and Jackson guitars use them as their standard pickups due to their high-output capabilities preferred by hard rock and heavy metal musicians.
Key Points:
- Popularity Among Artists: EMG pickups are endorsed by notable musicians such as Tom Morello, Zakk Wylde, Stephen Carpenter, as well as bands like Metallica and Slayer.
- Featured Models: The EMG 81 and EMG 85 are among the most popular models. The EMG 81 is typically used as a lead pickup in the bridge position, ideal for distortion, while the EMG 85 is preferred in the neck position for rhythm and clean tones. In my experience with a Les Paul 6-string guitar, the EMG 81 excels at distortion, and the EMG 85 shines for clean sound, although it lacks the EMG 81's clarity for distorted tones.
- Personal Experience: I have successfully used EMG pickups in both a Gibson Les Paul and a 7-string ESP guitar. Their clarity, depth, and added gain make them perfect for heavy music. The main downside to EMG's active pickups is the requirement for a 9-volt battery, but it lasts a long time. I recommend replacing it every six months to avoid tone loss.
- Installation Tips: Installing EMG pickups is relatively straightforward if you have the right tools and skills. I installed a set of Zakk Wylde custom EMGs in a Gibson Les Paul in under an hour. Just follow the appropriate installation diagrams and have basic soldering skills to ensure a smooth process.
EMG pickups combine powerful sound with reliability, making them an excellent choice for guitarists seeking to enhance their music. With easy installation and superior output, they continue to set the standard in the industry.
