ONLY AVAILABLE IN BLACK

EMG-81
The EMG-81 is a high output pickup designed especially for the lead guitarist. The 81 is at its best for high volume overdrive and amps with a master volume. Whether you're playing power rock and roll, or overdriving your amp, there's a razor sharp attack, and incredible sustain for brilliant soloing. If you're looking for exceptional qualities in a rock pickup, the EMG-81 is the one.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

EMG-60
While the EMG-60 still features the close aperture coils loaded with ceramic magnets for the brightest attack of any of our many humbucking models, this pickup also packs plenty of output with both clarity and cut through high end. The EMG-60 is incredible for rhythm guitar as metal and extreme players have discovered. James Hetfield's signature ESP models use EMG-60's because their distinctive crunch sets any rhythm player apart in the mix of a band that pumps a lot of mid-range from the stage.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

EMG-85
Although the EMG-85 has more measurable output than the 81, its frequency response and string interface are different. The 85 uses two Alnico magnet loaded coils with a wide aperture to maintain a beefy lowend and a fatter top end. Because of a more natural tone, it works great as a rhythm and blues pickup because it has loads of output but isn't muddy. Itís a perfect choice as a rhythm pickup in combination with an 81 in the bridge, which is the same pickup combination used by Zakk Wylde.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired split shaft volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip set, screws & springs.

EMG-60A
The EMG-60A features the close aperture coils loaded with alnico magnets instead of ceramic, giving it warmer and fuller sound. This pickup still packs plenty of output with both clarity and cut through high end. The EMG-60A is incredible for rhythm guitar and sets any player apart in the mix of a band that pumps a lot of mid-range from the stage.

EMG-707
The EMG-707 is a seven string pickup for guitar. The pickup is housed in the 35 Extended bass housing, so it's not a direct replacement for a humbucking pickup. The 707 is a dual coil pickup with Alnico Poles similar to the 85, with the same amount of output.

EMG-89 Dual Mode
Inside the EMG-89 pickup are both single and dual-coil pickups, each with its own output. The single-coil mode is an Alnico loaded stacked EMG-SA. The dual-coil mode consists of two Alnico loaded coils opposite one another creating a pickup similar to the EMG-85. A push/pull volume or tone enables you to switch from the clarity of a single-coil to the fatness of a humbucking. Virtually noiseless in both modes, it can also be used with several EMG accessories such as the SPC, EXG expander, or the PA2 preamp booster.

EMG-H
The EMG-H pickup is the original single-coil pickup design inside a humbucking housing. It debuted in 1974 as the first noiseless single coil pickup, featuring the widest possible frequency response for clarity, and a rich blend of related harmonics. This pickup is an excellent choice for the rhythm guitarist who needs added definition for chording, or for lead work when the bright attack of a single coil pickup is required.

EMG-HA
The EMG-HA pickup is our original single-coil pickup design inside a humbucking housing. It debuted in 1974 as the first noiseless single coil pickup, featuring alnico magnets for added warmth, the widest possible frequency response for clarity, and a rich blend of related harmonics. This pickup is an excellent choice for the rhythm guitarist who needs added definition for chording, or for lead work when the bright attack of a single coil pickup is required.

Kerry King EMG-KFK Set
EMG introduces the EMG-KFK Kerry King (Slayer) signature model for 2005. The combination of the EMG-81 and EMG-85 along with the PA2 (20db gain booster) delivers maximum distortion for Kerry and Slayer's bone crushing tones. This is his exact configuration used for live and studio action.

Package Includes: EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect™ cables (2), 25k split shaft volume/tone (standard) controls (2), screws & springs. Also a removable Kerry King card on the box and 1 EMG / Kerry King signature collectable guitar pick.
