The EMG 85X Humbucker tweaks the standard 85 with their X Series preamp for more headroom, clarity and dynamic range. It uses Alnico V magnets and close aperture coils to provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. Normally used in the neck position it also sounds great as a bridge humbucker thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. The EMG 85X pickup features their solderless system for quick and easy installation, it comes with everything you need including a 25k volume pot, active tone control, stereo output jack, battery connector and all required connector wires.
