    Ceramic (EMG 60) and ceramic/steel (EMG 81) magnets will be the most brutal and sharp with the bright pick attack. Alnico (EMG 85/89) will have a warmer feel and bleed off some of that brutality present with ceramic magnets. I am with lucky13; go ceramic.

      alot of bands use 85's in the bridge. Alot of guitarists use 85's in the bridge.

      Alot of bands use 81's in the bridge, alot of guitarists use 81's in the bridge.

      Try some shit out and figure out what you like.
