A dual mode pickup that is tonally balanced and versatile.
Featuring two pickups in one, the EMG 89 Dual Mode active Alnico V pickup houses separate preamps and coils for a custom humbucker and single coil sound at your fingertips. Loaded with Alnico V magnets, the humbucker sound is rich, warm and powerful, but still clear and articulate, similar to the 85. The single coil mode, accessed via the included push pull pot, delivers the traditional Strat single coil sound: bright, airy and chimey, and is very similar to the EMG SA. In either mode, the clean sound is gorgeously pristine and has a lot of presence. This pickup is perfect for bridge or neck positions. Whether you are playing hard rock or jazz, you can get it all with this beautifully balanced and versatile pickup.
