The Alnico magnets give a strong growl and smooth lead tones, letting you play from blues to extreme metal. Whether in the neck or bridge position, it sounds outstanding. Its smoothness and soul make it a top pick for the bridge, and it pairs well with other humbuckers in our line. Using our solderless system, changing your guitar's tone is a breeze. PLU: EMG85
Using the EMG 85 pickup is easy. First, decide if you want to place it in the neck or bridge position on your guitar. If you like a warmer, more mellow tone, the neck is a great spot. For a brighter, more cutting sound, the bridge is ideal. Install it using our solderless system - just follow the simple instructions that come with it. When using, you can adjust your guitar's volume and tone knobs to fine - tune the sound to your liking. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean and dry. Wipe the pickup gently with a soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture, as this can affect its performance. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, store it in a proper guitar case to protect the pickup.
