Product Description
Featuring two pickups in one, the EMG 89 is loaded with Alnico V magnets and has separate preamps each providing custom outputs for both dual coil and single coil modes. In dual coil mode, the sound is rich, warm and powerful, but still very clear and is 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 similar to our SA. In either mode, the clean sound is gorgeously pristine and has a lot of presence. Used equally in bridge and neck positions, whether you are playing Hard Rock or Smooth Jazz, you can get it all with this beautifully balanced and versatile pickup.

This is a biased review. I am a fan of EMG pickups and have used their products for over 20+ years. I have used their single coil pickups and humbucker pickups and appreciate the reliable consistent tone from their pickups.The EMG 89 is a dual mode pickup. This pickup actually houses two pickups in a single humbucking casing. This pickup is clear, nice bite with a growl that has no noise. This pickup is different from most pickups in the market due to the dual mode.The dual mode is the ability to use both pickups the EMG SA - single coil pickup and the EMG 85 - humbucker pickup at the same time or either in the single pickup or humbucker pickup individually. This pickup has a nice fluid creamy tone that is smooth and works really well with high gain tube amps. There isn't the buzziness of some passive pickups.This is my favorite EMG pickup to date.
