EMG Zakk Wylde Pickup Set

Unparalleled master of his instrument; he can rip it up from low "E" to high "E" and make it back in one piece without breaking a sweat. An inspiration to every aspiring guitar player and recognized the world over, Zakk does it with soul and with his signature EMG ZW set (81 + 85).

Package Includes: EMG 81, EMG 85 plus EMG's exclusive solderless Quik-Connect system (cables (2), 25k long shaft volume/tone controls (2), screws & springs). Also includes 1 EMG / Zakk signature collectable guitar pick.

Please note - the Zakk Wylde Set contains a set of regular EMG 81 & 85 pickups, with the long stem pots that are required for arch top guitars. The pickups aren't voiced especially for Zakk - they are just regular EMG 81 & 85's. Even if you're not a big Zakk fan, it's cheaper to buy the EMG 81 & 85 in this set than it is to buy them separately!!

Pick ups are excellent, so clean and clear but with a serious amount of extra punch. Very versatile and really added a massive upgrade to my epiphone les Paul.

Improves any guitar you put them in with that powerful active clarity. Great for high gain but also amazing clean tones.

I got theses to replace some EMG HZ pickups in a Jackson Dinky. Output is much higher with the 85/81 actives and obviously give a great high gain metal tone. The 85 as expected can be a little muddy but that's what the tone pot is for. I haven't managed to connect this up to my 20db boost circuit, which EMG customer services say will work, but I'm not sure they really need this. Interestingly the clean tone from the set is really good. very bright clear sound, Ok it doesn't compare to my fender strat for a warm bluesy tone but you don't use an EMG loaded Jackson for playing Clapton or the Stones.
