Legendary Tone & Versatility

For sale is a genuine EMG 85 active humbucker. Known for its warm, beefy tone and incredible smoothness, the 85 is the Alnico V-powered counterpart to the ceramic EMG 81. It’s a favorite for neck-position leads and cleans, but also provides a massive, "soulful" sound in the bridge position.
