Face Melting not for Grandpa players or standard tuning weaklings.
EMG is a love or hate relationship with guitarists. I was once in the hate camp until I bought an '86 Rhoads w/ the classic Jeff Beck / Jazz configuration. I had a set of EMGs molding in a box so I busted them out and installed them. Being a metal player, and mostly stupid most of the time, I reasoned it a temporary fix to quell the ultra noisy Duncan pickups until I could decide on something better. Serendipity. My guitar came Alive! Not being much of a mystery, I wondered how I could've been so wrong, and predictably stupid about the 81/ 85 set. They're extremely agressive (little Kreator reference there hehe), quiet and grab all the signal. I own 12 guitars ranging from Jackson, ESP, 2 Les Pauls, 2 Ibanez, a strat, a neck thru Warlock blah blah blah....all of them have undergone reconstructive EMG surgery. The only divergence in tone is relative to the wood of the particular guitar. People argue this but having 12 guitars all loaded with the same pickups tells the tale. The cheapest, crappiest Ibanez I spent $700 between a new neck, Shaller Hannes bridge, Grover tuners...all because it sounded the heaviest of all my guitars. This set is exceptional. It's right there with the ZW 81/85 sets in terms of tone, clarity and silence. Don't Tell the Wife Guitars did me a super solid deal on these. Highly recommend for people who're going to shred. If you're going to play Grandpa music (Roy Clark is exempted here), go buy some boring, Vanilla pickups. If you want to melt your face off, buy these.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great sound and perfect design
This pair of pickups set is a great combination of two of the best EMG pups and is reasonable for anyone who needs massive huge sound from his guitar. The red color variation looks great and very cool. Really like it! Thanks!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
