EMG Pickups

[Rocknrumble]

Is there a way to tell which pups you have in a humbucker housing? My LTD AX is supposed to have two 35 DCs, but they sound kinda like a PJ set to me. And they do offer PJ sets in DC housings.

There should be a sticker on the bottom of the pickup.

 

Let me clear up some confusion though...they don't have P/J sets in humbucker (or DC) housings.

 

They have a humbucker that acts like a P, and they have a humbucker that acts like a J...but they are not smashing a full P/J setup into a humbucker housing.

I was hoping that I wouldn't have to pull them out to see what they were.

It's not hard...just take out the screws that hold em in, then turn them over. No need to remove strings or anything else.

I'm not trying to argue, but according to EMG:

 

EMG-35P4

The 35P4 design has two offset coils that result in more low end with brilliant highs.

 

EMG-35J

The 35J model uses a single coil design which has a less powerful low end but a more prominent midrange.

 

I understood that as being proper P and Js in different housings. Maybe I misunderstood. Thanks for answering though.

This shows the EMG coil configurations

Thats right...but a P/J config would have both of those together. One of each so to speak. It just seemed as though you were saying that one single pickup was a P/J all in one dealy.
