EMG 85 Guitar Humbucking Pickup, Red, Short Shaft

The EMG 85 Red Short Shaft Guitar Humbucking Pickup is a classic from EMG. It's the more refined sibling of the well - known EMG 81. With close - aperture coils and Alnico V magnets, it offers a powerful and versatile tone. The Alnico magnets give it a strong growl and smooth lead tones, letting you play blues to extreme metal. It sounds great in the neck position and also shines as a bridge humbucker due to its smoothness and soul. This pickup pairs easily with other humbuckers in our line. Using our solderless system, you can change your guitar's tone with ease. The package includes EMG's exclusive solderless install system, such as a 25K volume pot, a 25K tone pot, a battery bus, a stereo output jack, a two - pickup in/out bus, a pair of mounting screws and springs, a pickup cable, two connect cables, an output cable, and a battery cable.

Using the EMG 85 Red Short Shaft Guitar Humbucking Pickup is easy. First, use the included solderless install system to set it up on your guitar. Connect the cables as per the instructions in the package. You can adjust the 25K volume pot to control how loud your guitar sounds and the 25K tone pot to fine - tune the tone. When using it, make sure the battery is properly connected through the battery cable. Keep the pickup away from strong magnetic fields as they might affect the sound. For maintenance, gently clean the pickup with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. If you're not using the guitar for a long time, remove the battery to prevent leakage. With proper use and care, this pickup will keep delivering great sound for years.
