    so what do you guys think of that? i hear a lot of ppl saying that emg 85 sounds better in the bridge, but everybody says to put an 81 or 85 in the neck....did anyone try putting on a 60 in the neck? i mean all the eclipses have a 60 in the neck but no one tried it on a horizon? is there a reason? thanks

    60 + Horizon = Ghey

      Why is that?

        60 in the neck will get you cleaner, brighter cleans. 85 is warmer and is by far better for a metal/shred setup. I tried all the combinations of 81, 85, and 60 and reverted to the ZW setup because I think it is simply the best. I might try 85b/89n in the future.

          ;)

          if you're the kind who uses your neck pickup for leads.... to with an 85/85 combo.

                  I want to try an 85 in the bridge of my MII to see if it gives it some more punch and chunkiness to combat some of the brightness of the guitar
