EMG 57 BK F-Spaced

I wanted something to go into a single pickup guitar and I wanted it to be active. As it would have to do more than just rhythm it had to have some versatility in it which ruled out the 81 as that is not great for cleans.

This pick up has some similarities to the 81 but is not as laser focussed and a bit more relaxed in that regards. It was just what
I wanted, a nice clean. Works really well across various gain levels. It sounds thick and has a great presence under high gain, doesn’t get muddy. It has that EMG character but does not come across as sterile.

If you want something different from EMG this is it.
