Product Rating Product Review Bites like a dog, sings like a mermaid. Everyone knows all about EMG biting tone, and the magnet in here makes it sound so much more palatable. It's tasteful, but it still drives with an excellent clarity. Furthermore, the cleans in the bridge are nice and thick, so they aren't thin and glassy when they shouldn't be. Full range on the tone knob also, so they really do have quite a range of voicings in your hand.

My New Favorite Bridge Pickup

Product Review I've played EMG pickups for about as long as I have played guitar (20 years). For the longest time, the 85 was my go to bridge pup. A few years ago, it was usurped by the 85-X. Last week, I bought a 57 and a 66 to toss into one of my guitars. If you are in the market for new pickups, don't hesitate, just buy the EMG 57. It has remarkable touch response and can go from a searing lead tone to a nice slight breakup with a turn of the volume knob (something EMGs of days past lacked). These aren't the typical high output pickups that one might associate with actives. They deliver pristine cleans and searing overdrive sounds.
