Description
Zakk Wylde didn’t just endorse this set — he built his whole attack around it. The EMG ZW pairs the ferocious EMG 81 in the bridge with the fuller, rounder EMG 85 in the neck, giving you the exact active tone combination behind decades of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne riffs. Expect punishing high-gain clarity, tight low-end control, and sustain that keeps ringing long after a lesser pickup would’ve given up.
- EMG 81 (bridge) + EMG 85 (neck) active humbucker pair
- Zakk Wylde signature configuration
- Includes long shaft volume and tone controls for direct fit into Les Paul and similarly styled guitars
- Includes black EMG shop cloth
Because these are active pickups, you get consistent output and a scooped-yet-aggressive voice regardless of how hard you dig in — no muddiness, no loss of definition, just relentless attack. The included long shaft pots make this a straightforward swap for Les Paul-style guitars without hunting down separate hardware, so you can get straight to dialing in that signature Wylde crunch. If your rig needs more low-end punch and sustain for hours without wearing thin, this is the set that’s been proven on arena stages for years.
