EMG 81TW & EMG 89 Active Pickup Set – 2008 – Used

Looking for versatility, high output, and classic active response in a single set? This 2008 pre-owned EMG active pickup set pairs the dual-mode EMG-81TW in the bridge with the EMG 89 in the neck, giving you the best of both worlds: searing, high-gain active humbucker tones alongside true single-coil voicings at the flick of a switch or pull of a pot.

Condition is Excellent overall. The set shows only very light, minor signs of cosmetic wear consistent with careful installation and play (see photos for close-up details). Multi-pin quick-connect headers on the underside of each pickup are clean and intact. Please note: This listing is for the pickup units only; quick-connect wire harnesses, pots, and accessories are not included.

Whether you are upgrading a dual-humbucker instrument or replacing pickups in an existing EMG-equipped guitar, this matched active pair delivers massive headroom, tight low-end response, and ultra-quiet operation.
