Description
Think of the P91 as EMG’s answer to players who love the growl of a P-90 but want the headroom and punch of a hotter design. Under that classic soapbar shell sits an H4-style build: two bar-loaded coils working together to deliver a big, aggressive voice that’s earned this pickup a reputation as “the 81 of the passive lineup.” If you know EMG’s active 81, that comparison should tell you everything about the kind of output and attitude this thing brings to a passive circuit.
Because it’s fully passive, the P91 slots into your existing wiring without a battery or preamp — just wire it up and let the bar coils do the work. Every HZ pickup, including this one, ships with EMG’s 5-wire quik-connect setup, which opens the door to series, parallel, single-coil, and out-of-phase wiring options if you want to get creative with switching. Full shielding keeps hum to a minimum, and pairing the pickup with string grounding will tighten things up even further for a quieter rig overall.
- H4-style dual bar coils in a P-90 soapbar housing
- High-output passive design with an aggressive, forward voice
- EMG 5-wire quik-connect for flexible wiring configurations
- Fully shielded construction to fight unwanted noise
- Available only in black
Whether you’re chasing raw rock tone or just want more snarl out of your soapbar-equipped guitar, the P91 delivers serious output without giving up the character that makes P-90s worth having in the first place.
