COMPLETE SETOF EMG- 85 AND EMG 81 HUMBUCKER'S EXCELLENT CONDITION The EMG 85 is a popular active humbucker guitar pickup manufactured by EMG, Inc.. It is usually installed in a guitar's neck position and often paired with the EMG 81 in the bridge position, but can be used in the bridge position for a different result. The EMG 85 can be recognized by a humbucker form-factor and gold embossed EMG logo. The EMG 707 is the seven string version of the 85. Contents 1 History and design 2 18V Mod 3 Guitars with EMG 85 4 External links History and design The EMG 85 changed the previous EMG 58 pickup in the EMG product lineup as a popular rhythm pickup. Technologically, EMG 85 is an active humbucker with bar-shaped Alnico 5 magnet. This yields a warmer and more "natural" tone than most other pickup types. The bar-shaped magnet affects strings uniformly, without irregularities known in more traditional design with separate pole pieces. Alnico 5 magnets also contribute to a warmer tone than the harder-edged tone normally associated with ceramic magnets, which is why some players often use the 85 in the bridge, as opposed to the 81. As the EMG 85 is an active humbucker, its two coils are not just connected in series or parallel with single output. Instead, they have two separate outputs and are summed electronically in the preamp. However, such sealed solution makes it impossible to do coil taps or coil splits. The EMG 89 is a recommended pickup with a coil tap/split option.
