EMG 85 Active Humbucking Guitar Pickup
Although the EMG-85 active humbucker pickup has more measurable output than the 81, the frequency response and string interface of the EMG 85 are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, the EMG85 works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy. It�s a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an 81 in the bridge, which is the same pickup combination used by Zakk Wylde.
