Members killgrace Posted May 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 Will do.....although I've been an EMG 85 user in the bridge for over a year now......after many years the 81 started sounding too fuzzy to me in the bridge......I will try and bust out a clip if I can though...... If I may ask...When are you actually expecting delivery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norton666 Posted May 26, 2011 Members Share Posted May 26, 2011 If I may ask...When are you actually expecting delivery? A few online retailers already have them listed , but according to my EMG rep , they wont ship until mid next month at the earliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered them from a local shop/friend who talked to EMG and they said maybe they will ship out next week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be true......I have noticed that MF and a few other retailers have them listed as "in stock".. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shred-o-holic Posted May 27, 2011 Members Share Posted May 27, 2011 I think the AHB-3 is underrated way better the the normal blackouts. I have had a few sets and they sound awesome. I also like the 81's/85 but didnt care to much for the 81x sounded like the battery was getting weak.. I wouldn't mind trying the AHB-3. Obviously Mick Thompson had them fix the muddiness that plagues the AHB-1..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les-Zombie Posted July 16, 2011 Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 Wats a hetfield emg, is it like a emg 81 or something :idk:Why havent i heard of these before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlb32 Posted July 16, 2011 Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 Wats a hetfield emg, is it like a emg 81 or something :idk: Why havent i heard of these before It's his new EMG Signature set. It's supposedly some different from his EMG 81/60 combo he has used for years but still very similar. There is a few videos throughout the thread where Hetfield explains what he was wanting with these EMG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would make some gold ones. I have considered putting them in my LPC Black Beauty but don't know how the black pickups would go with the rest of the hardware being gold.

Black pickups go with any color. Also, I've never seen Hetfield with gold pickup covers, so I doubt that will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fixdrummer80 Posted July 16, 2011 Members Share Posted July 16, 2011 Here's me jamming out with the JH set and another video with a comparison to an 81. I love these pickups! They sound amazing through my markIII+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I've never seen Hetfield with gold pickup covers, so I doubt that will happen. Hetfield has several guitars with gold pickup covers. His Gibson Iron Cross has worn gold pickup covers with EMG's underneath. He has several ESP Eclipses with gold pickup covers also. I do agree that the black ones would look fine though. I might end up doing it. I just don't know which guitar I want to put them in though. I would kind of like to put them in my Les Paul Custom but that would be the hardest install. I have a few ESP's with EMG's that would just be a fast quick connect swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Les-Zombie Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Yea i like them alot, im still a fan of the 81 but i also like the hetfields and im gonna put a set in my Ken lawrence explorer next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fixdrummer80 Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 The JH has a more of a passive feel to it. The bottom end is bigger, but still tight. The high end is not so piercing, but still bright. This guitar pickup combo sounds great though every amp I've played it through, I cant say that about the 81.

Thanks...The JH bridge really does seem to have all the gain and attack of the 81, but seem a bit rounder, thicker, warmer....Just more organic sounding really.
