EMG 85-X Active Humbucker Pickup

The EMG 85-X provides increased headroom giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining the clarity and response that EMG's are renowned for.

Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets and powered by a newly designed preamp, the 85-X is a powerful pickup with exceptional tone and versatility across the spectrum.

The Alnico magnets give a warm growl and velvet lead tones that enable you to play the deepest of blues to the most extreme metal.
