Quick Overview

Humbucking Active Guitar Pickup


The EMG-81 is a high-output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its
best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock 'n' roll, or
overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for
exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.

Distortion during lead passages is consistent, sustain is long and the breakup fades smoothly. The ceramic
magnet in combination with wide aperture steel poles lend a quick attack but the tone stays nice and fat at the
same time. Perfect if you're the only guitarist in the band, and need to switch from rhythm to lead and still keep
the band moving. Another great thing about the EMG-81 is it's quiet. If you're playing at really high gain the last
thing you need is noise.
