Up for sale is a rare Gary Holt Blood Red EMG 81/89R Pickup Set, released in celebration of the 40th anniversary of Bonded by Blood. With only 300 sets produced worldwide, this is a seriously limited piece of thrash metal history.

This particular set is brand new, factory sealed, and completely unopened, preserved exactly as it was originally shipped. It even includes the original box, making it an ideal find for collectors who value condition and completeness.

Finished in a striking Blood Red, these pickups don’t just sound aggressive—they look the part too. Designed to match Gary Holt’s signature tone, they deliver the crushing output and clarity you’d expect from EMG’s legendary 81/89R combination.

Included with this limited-edition set:

  • EMG 81/89R pickup set in Blood Red finish
  • Original factory packaging (unopened)
  • Official box from initial release
  • Hand-signed photo of Gary Holt

Whether you're a devoted Exodus or Slayer fan, a collector of rare gear, or someone looking to add a visually and sonically powerful upgrade to your rig, this set is a standout.

Limited to just 300 units, sealed examples like this are getting harder to come by—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of thrash legacy.
