The classic 81 tone in 7-string form
ThomasUV777 16.03.2018
People tend to be really divided between active and passive pickups. I used to be on the passive camp, until I purchased a guitar with an EMG81 in it. For my custom 7, I knew I had to get this in a 7-string form. I didn't regret this one bit. Sounds vivid, bright and sustain for days. I'll go on record by saying that yes, it does have a very compressed quality. But that's not a bad thing per sé. Having a constant level is great for the metal genre, especially if you go in a more oldschool direction. Paired with a 707 makes a match made in heaven. If you do want some more headroom and less compression, the 81-7X is a great alternative, which I have tested and checked the soundwaves. A clear difference in dynamics, so EMG has fans of more compression covered. Note that the solderless installation makes installing this pickup a breeze. Highly recommended!

EMG 81-7

ce micro delivre un son tres froid, raide mais super preçis !!!
c'est un regal pour tout les fans de metal, il a un bon niveau de sortie, et excele sur des guitare en acajou. n'esperez pas avoir un jolie son clair avec ce micros, il est taillé pour le gros son.
attention toutefois, afin de l'équiper sur votre guitare , un passage chez le luthier est nécéssaire, ce micro est plus large que les micros standard.
