the classic EMG 81 Sound, but 8 String

Steve The Ears 22.04.2025

I put his in one of Thomanns own Fan fret Harley Benton 8 strings, nothing wrong with the pickups in there, but I wanted active. easy install, took longer taking the old kit out, and sounds superb really gives the guitar a bit extra grunt. highly recommend
