Presentation
The EMG 808 Black is a pickup for those who leave nothing to chance. Built for 8-string guitars, it keeps every frequency under control. The wide-aperture Alnico V magnets handle the low F# with authority, without heaviness or burrs.
The lows remain compact, the mids vibrate with depth, and the highs retain their sharpness. The timbre remains concentrated, balanced and full of presence. In the neck position, it opens up naturally. In bridge position, it tightens the attack for a more incisive sound.
This model remains responsive without saturating the spectrum. Harmonics emerge without any parasitic noise or blurring. The solderless wiring system simplifies everything. No complex tools, just precise, stable connections.
It includes everything you need: 25k potentiometers, output cable, battery bus, screws, springs and connectors. Set-up takes just a few minutes, and once installed, the EMG 808 pushes your instrument towards total signal control.
With it, every string finds its place. Nothing spills over, everything stays under tension. It's a smart buy for those who want to stay on course, even with eight strings.

Switching from 6 to 808 transforms the bottom end of the spectrum. The bass remains clean, even in relaxed F#.
The pickup remains responsive to aggressive back and forth. Every attack remains legible, even in syncopated chaos.
When mixed with a passive pickup, the contrast is surprising. The 808 contrasts with a wider, more nervous sound.
It stands up well to heavy effects chains. There's no crushing, just punch and relief.
Its articulation cleans up complex riffs, even down-tuned ones. The notes don't drool, everything just hangs together.
