Revisiting the EMG 81: Still the Best Pickup for Metal!
#emg #pickups #guitar #tone #active #schecter #epiphone #fishman #shootout #demo #metallica #metal #best #highgain Today I revisit the EMG 81 and all its variants. After recently getting an EMG 81/85 set in a guitar, I felt like it was one of the best metal tones I had heard in a while. I wondered if the 24 volt mod, 81x, or James Hetfield signature improved upon the original. The answer I would find was both yes, and no. I also throw in a @Fishman_Music Fluence Modern for fun!
