Product Info

Impedence or other specs: justo look at the emg site
Price Paid: N/A
Purchased from: somewhere in italy
Instrument
Model of guitar or bass: 93 american standard stratocaster
Position: bridge
Pickup being replaced: stock single coil
Other pickups on guitar: 2 emg sa(singles)
Artists using this pickup: i dont care
You musical style(s): blues rock hard rock
Reason for pickup change: being in a covers band i needed pickups with a wide range so i could cover any kind of song. ... single coils can sound very nice for blues but when you need to cover whola lotta love by led zeppelin with your band they are absolutely useless
Sound
Perceived output level: its a hot humbucker but much more balanced than the emg81
Tone: i wouldnt say perfect but its the best pickup i have come across in 13 years of playing and after many pickup changes
Sonic evaluation: I own the emg85 for 8 years now in my 93 american standard which comes equipped with 2 single coils EMG SA pickups and have used it through many amps.
