Designed for the 6-string electric guitar, the EMG 81X X Series Red shines in hard rock and melodic solos where every nuance counts. Its combination of ceramic/steel magnets and X Series preamp delivers a livelier response than a conventional active pickup, with brilliant highs and natural sustain.

When playing lead, it stands out for its ability to bring out long notes and fluid legatos. It maintains good rhythmic articulation, even when the distortion is pushed. The active VLPF control lets you adjust the brightness to suit the song: sharper for powerful choruses or softer for subdued verses.

Primarily designed for the bridge position, the EMG 81X also adapts perfectly to the neck, offering a powerful, detailed sound in both cases.

It's perfect for those who like a change of scenery, moving from standard tunings to a half-tone lower, while retaining crisp definition. Its solderless construction also makes it easy to experiment with other EMG pickups.

With its bright red and silver logo, it doesn't just sound great: it also adds a unique visual touch to your guitar.
