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 Recommended Accessories for: Eagle Mountain Nylon Guitar Strap Black $7.95 Add To Order Dunlop 4181 Tortex Standard Guitar Picks 12 Pack .50 mm, Red $3.95 Add To Order Dunlop Formula 65 Guitar Polish and Cleaner $15.95 Add To Order Planet Waves Guitar Pro String Winder and Clipper $7.95 Add To Order Manufacturer Info for: Helpful Info about the Manufacturer Phone: 707-525-9941 Warranty: Limited Lifetime EMG 81TW Humbucker Pickup Currently there are no discussions available for this item.

Customer Review Rate and Review this Product: 1 person wrote a review 1 person rated this item Anthony from Michigan, USA Overall Ranking: Overall: Sound: Quality: Reliability: Action: Finish: Playability: Tone: Subject: Perfect Quality: 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!). Sound: They sound fantastic! I can't tell the difference between this and the regular 81. At first I wasn't too happy with the single coil sound but then I realized it was just that I'd never heard that sound before without buzzing. They're pretty different running through super high gain rigs (like the 5150 fed by an MT-2 for example). Normally a single coil would be unusable through such a setup because of my noise. Reliability: 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). Overall: 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: 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: 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: There's no paint on them. The color goes all the way through the plastic. Action: I haven't got any action because of owning these but then I never play in front of people so that's probably why... Skill Level: Intermediate Do you own this product?: Yes I do.
