Guitar Microphone

The EMG 808X Ivory is a microphone that transforms dark sounds into crisp textures. Its X-Series technology extends the dynamic range. Every note clicks, even in dense chords. With its solderless wiring and gold logo, this humbucker is for players who demand clarity and precision over 8 strings.

ARTICLE N° 108327
The EMG 808X Ivory is a game-changing pickup for 8-string guitars. Designed to tame uncontrolled bass, it redefines clarity on the F# string. Inspired by the 707, it offers a broader response thanks to the X-Series system. The result: every note remains intelligible, even at high gain.

The Alnico V magnet adds bite and maintains tonal balance. This device can be fitted to the neck or bridge as required. It operates on 9V with a generous battery life of 3,000 hours. Output voltage rises to 8.5 V under strum.

Complete solderless wiring makes installation easy. It includes the necessary cables, potentiometers and fixings. An in/out connector easily handles a second microphone.

With its standard Tune-O-Matic spacing (49 mm), it can be integrated into a wide range of configurations. The ivory finish, sober and clear, goes well with guitars with a modern or vintage look. It's a real plus when it comes to asserting your 8-string playing style.

The EMG 808X Ivory reacts differently on the neck and bridge. On the neck, it softens the attack; on the bridge, it bites.

The five cables are fixed in a compact central bundle. Use discreet clamps to stabilise everything without forcing.

For drop E, reduce the bass slightly upstream. The ivory colour stands out well under white LED spotlights.
