EMG 81 Active Ceramic Humbucker Guitar Pickup – Chrome-NEW

In brief: Active Humbucking Pickup with Ceramic Magnets, Prewired Volume/Tone Controls, Output Jack, and Quik-Connect Cable – Chrome

The EMG 81 Chrome active humbucker is a high-output pickup built for precision, aggression, and clarity—perfect for modern metal and hard rock players who demand nothing less than surgical tone. Known as the pickup that started a revolution, the EMG 81 uses powerful ceramic magnets and close-aperture coils to deliver searing lead tones with razor-sharp high-end cut and fluid sustain.

Housed in a real stainless steel cap polished to a mirror finish, the EMG 81 Chrome doesn’t just sound intense—it looks the part, too. It’s most often placed in the bridge position, where it shines with tight attack and relentless punch, letting solos and riffs slice through even the heaviest mix.

Whether you’re pairing it with the EMG 85 for a classic combo or the EMG 60 for added versatility, the 81 is a modern classic that continues to define high-gain tone. Included in the box is everything you need for installation: EMG’s solderless Quik-Connect system, a prewired volume/tone control set, output jack, battery clip, and mounting hardware.
