EMG-81 Active Humbucker Pickup for Electric Guitar, White. NEW. Comes with springs, screws, volume & tone pots, pre-wired capacitor, battery clip and output socket. The EMG-81 is a popular active humbucking pickup . It is usually regarded as lead pickup and used in the bridge position, paired. It is not uncommon, however, to see a guitar with two EMG 81s in both bridge and neck positions ( Kirk Hammett's EMG-KH21 pickup sets, which include EMG 81 pickups for neck and bridge positions). The EMG 81 pickup is preferred as a lead pickup because of its high output and smooth control from having a rail magnet. Rail magnets tend to sound smoother during string bends because they have a constant "rail" that runs through the pickup. As most other modern EMG pickups, the EMG 81 has 5-wire quik-connect output, that comes as a 5-pin male connector on a pickup body and a 5-wire cable to connect it. This allows for a less complicated pick up swap for another EMG in the future, only requiring the removal the pickup ring/guard and disconnecting the pickup, as opposed to the usual installing and re-soldering. Payment may be made by Paypal where most credit and debit cards are accepted, or by credit card over the phone (tel: ). Payment should be made as soon as possible after the auction closes but no later than 5 full days. Items will be sent read more
