JellyBellY (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/membres/index% 2Cidmembre 2C34579.html%) came to me with his Schecter C1 Fr (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/apprendre/mailing_forums/?idproduit=23105 ), it was able to test the two teams dun guitar EMG 81 in acute on the same amp
Well for those who doubted: The sound is DIFFERENT between the two guitars!
THE EMG therefore pass the LUTHERIE!

Guitars:
The Schecter has a handle screwed it in Rabl (beautifully ond the rest), (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/img/membres/normal/8/9/8977.jpg) a mahogany body and therefore EMG 89 in a serious and a EMG 81 in acute!
My Vigier MODEL is a former driver with a handle Fully carbon, a key in Phenowood which is actually a matrial close to the woods! The wings are normally alder. She is in serious quipedun EMG 85 and EMG 81 in acute dun.

Sound:
Vigier on the sound is more synthetic, more than anything Dimebag Darrell, It is the fact the neck-carbon! For the Schecter sound is warmer and finally close trs DiMarzio has dun like raisin bread!
Indeed, the EMG 81 is a micro high output (405 mV) and magnets raisin bread! So you have to compare what is comparable, if we compare the EMG 81 Seymour Duncan has a 59 that has 2 times less output level and basic deer Alnico EST sr that nest over the m me!
Jadore for this micro distos videmmentmais I found myself doing with funk! Indeed there is a espce of stuff on the guitar, you know something often black plastic or mtal vicinity of the bridge: It sappel a volume knob
Well, it is lower the volume, so if there is a little sen instead of putting all the time donf makes it less aggressive EMG 81 because the volume is on the bottom cruncher nimporte what clear sound
Jai also test some time ago EMG81 the position of a serious Vigier Excalibur Ultra Dioneae and I agree: the 81 is in serious carrment warmer quen position Acute whether well cest a 81!
Also Igor O Mount of EMG on his Gibson Les Paul Studio and a PRS CE24 and said on the forum that his silent guitar lautre diffrent dune that the microphones are the same !

In passing with my config rack but with no effect Cables quality I have absolutely no breath
And I prcise all EMG pickups are sold with accessories (http://www.emginc.com/productimages/Hcontrol.jpg): Tone & volume knob, medium pile, jack socket and the recess c wheat. EMG actually need knobs diffrent value of those used for passive pickups and the jack starts the active Systm: Cest why that if you leave the branch stack jack s' use! Just think adbrancher the jack when you do not play (as an active low actually);)
Buying a short EMG you to change all the guitar llectronique except slecteur microphone, so that the ratio quality price is good trs: same price as a Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio but the electronic (pre-wired and more
Dtail friendly: the cable that goes micro dtach thanks to a plug (http://www.emginc.com/productimages/T3pin.jpg) Which means that once the install cblage on your guitar you dont no welds do to change pickups, you have a 85 in a severe and acute in 81 so you can easily reverse them!

Here I just wanted to wring his neck DEFINITIONS prtendent rumors that the EMG does not comply with the violin! Alalala people who speak without knowledge and / or which allow dmettre an opinion on a micro without washing test on at least two guitars violin making diffrent ...

I invite you to read the other reviews for more details and sound techniques, I recommend including that of Draghixa which is always good advice
