EMG81-LS Active Ceramic/Steel Long Shaft Humbucker Black Bridge
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
EMG’s black 81-LS is an active ceramic/steel long-shaft humbucker traditionally used in the bridge position. Ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils drive a voice with detailed intensity, strong high-end cut, and fluid sustain. For lead parts in a packed arrangement, that cut is the defining practical benefit: the pickup is designed to let them come through the mix. The 81 can also be used in both neck and bridge positions for a blistering sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Selecting a black long-shaft EMG 81 for a bridge-position humbucker role.
- Using EMG 81 pickups at neck and bridge positions for the described blistering sound.
