The EMG 85X Short Shaft Guitar Humbucking Pickup offers an organic and open sound. Thanks to the extra headroom and response typical of EMG X pickups, it has a unique voice. With close - aperture coils and Alnico V magnets, it's a powerful pickup with outstanding tone and versatility. The Alnico magnets give it a strong growl and smooth lead tones, allowing you to play from blues to extreme metal. It works great in the neck position, and surprisingly, it also sounds amazing as a bridge humbucker due to its smoothness and soul. This pickup pairs well with other pickups in our line, and with our solderless system, changing your tone is a breeze. The package includes EMG's exclusive solderless install system: 1 25K volume pot, 1 active tone pot (VLPF), 1 battery bus, 1 stereo output jack, 1 two - pickup in/out bus, 1 pair of mounting screws and springs, 1 pickup cable, 2 connect cables, 1 output cable, and 1 battery cable.
Using the EMG 85X Short Shaft Guitar Humbucking Pickup is easy. First, use the included solderless install system to set it up on your guitar. The package comes with all the necessary parts like pots, cables, and mounting screws. For the best sound, you can experiment with placing it in the neck or bridge position. When it comes to maintenance, keep the pickup clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe it down. Make sure to check the battery regularly if you're using the active tone pot. If you're changing your tone settings, the solderless system allows you to do it quickly and without any soldering skills. Just be careful when handling the cables to avoid any damage. Enjoy creating your unique guitar sounds with this versatile pickup.
