EMG 81-TW and 89
EMG 81-TW and 89
I own a U.S. ESP Eclipse 07 and I'm planning to replace my EMG 81 with a EMG 81-TW, but I was wondering if it would also sound good with an EMG 89, on the EMG site it says:
"The dual-coil mode consists of two Alnico loaded coils opposite one another creating a pickup similar to the EMG-85."
I'm only doing this because I want White EMGs and if I am going to replace both PUs to white colored PUs I don't think I wouldn't want to settle for a EMG 60. I love the EMG 60 but I rather go back to playing with an EMG 85 sound.
My question is; Has anyone here combined or heard the EMG 81-TW and the 89 together? Good sound and no good?
EMG 81-TW Bridge 89 Neck
If I'm not mistaken I've heard that the EMG 81-TW on sigle-coil mode sounds like the EMG-S and the EMG 89 sounds like the EMG-SA
-Thanks.
about the single coil sounds of em yes, 81-tw split=S and 89= SA
and they sound awesome together I played em in a 08 schecter c1 hellraiser
hope this helps.
