Aggressive, versatile pickup

You want sonic variety when you play, and the EMG 81TW lets you tap into an array of tonal options with its versatile design. This unique pickup uses dual internal preamps — one for single-coil mode and one for dual-coil mode. This gives you the classic sound of the EMG 81 with a bigger, fatter single-coil sound that only EMG could conjure. The EMG 81TW boasts all the crunch and aggressiveness the 81 is famous for, while adding the versatility of a single-coil sound to your arsenal.

Neck designed for comfort

Your fingers will fall in love with the 3-piece maple neck, cut to an extra-thin "U" profile on the M-HT. Given how comfortably it sits in the hand and makes hours of shredding effortless, the extra-thin "U" profile is a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater. The ebony fingerboard is outfitted with 24 stainless steel extra-jumbo frets that make chording and lead playing easy on the fingers as well.
