Description

In 1976, Rob Turner revolutionized guitar tone with the introduction of the first active guitar pickup. With their noiseless operation and unmatched clarity, EMG Pickups became an instant hit with studio musicians and players seeking a tighter response from their pickups. Soon after, with the introduction of the 81 and 60 pickups, EMG Pickups set the standard for output and attack in the heavy metal guitar community, backed by artists such as James Hetfield and James Root. Now in 2026, in honor of the 50th anniversary of EMG Pickups, this classic set will be available with the original EMG logo for a limited time. Traditionally configured with the 81 in the bridge position and the 60 in the neck, the 81 will bring tight response, endless sustain, and great high-end cut, while the 60 lends its singing high end clarity and rich harmonics to the neck position. Like all EMG products, this set includes the solderless wiring system for simple installation.
