The EMG 81TW humbucking pickup takes an EMG classic to a new level.
The dual-mode design allows for maximum flexibility, with the original 81 providing all the crunch and aggressiveness it's famous for and an all new single-coil that features a fatter tone with plenty of punch and clarity. Either mode is accessed through a push/pull pot for versatility. Dual internal preamps, one tuned for single-coil mode and the other for dual-coil mode, give the 81TW two distinct sounds while delivering EMG's well known noise cancelling technology in both modes.
EMG 81TW Includes
- EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect cable (easily connect to other EMG accessories like the SPC Presence Control, EXG Guitar Expander, or the PA2 Preamp Booster)
- push/pull pot
- output jack
- battery clip set
- screws and springs

| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Very well made, no problems at all. EMG's support is fantastic too. They offered to make a schematic for me in a CAD program for the setup I was using (they didn't because I figured it out at the last minute). I thought that was awful nice of them (they answer their emails the same day too!). |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| I've only had them 3 months but I've had no problems. I did, however, have problems installing them over and over again but they stood up to it. I even had to remove and reattach the connections on the solderless wires but they are of good quality (this was my guitar's fault, not the pickups). |
|
| General |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| I'm pretty impressed with these. I would've given them 5 stars all around if it wasn't for the price. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| At first I didn't like these as much as I thought I would, but it turned out that I'm just not that good - they're so clear sounding that they unmasked some of my shortcomings as a player that I wasn't quite aware of (bad picking technique). |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| super fat, crunchy, 3D. Very strat-like in single coil, but hotter (turn volume down to sound more stratty). I like the active tone also. It seems to have a wider range than a lot of passive tone controls. |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| There's no paint on them. The color goes all the way through the plastic. |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| I haven't got any action because of owning these but then I never play in front of people so that's probably why... |
