Description
The 81-7H takes everything that made the EMG 81 a metal-guitar staple and reworks it for extended range. Ceramic magnets paired with close-aperture coils give this active humbucker a tight, focused low end and an aggressive high-frequency cut, so your leads stay articulate even when the rest of the band is piling on gain and low tuning.
- Ceramic magnet design for high output and punch
- Close aperture coil winding for a detailed, controlled tone
- Fluid sustain suited to lead and rhythm work alike
- Built for the bridge position on 7-string guitars
- Black chrome cover finish
- EMG solderless wiring for straightforward installation
In the bridge alone, expect a searing, cutting attack that slices through dense, distorted mixes without getting lost. Drop it into both neck and bridge positions and the result is a full-bore, blistering setup that leaves no room for ambiguity in your tone.
Looking to pair it? The classic 81-7H/85-7H combo delivers a proven balance of aggression and clarity, while the 81-7H/60-7H pairing opens up a more versatile tonal palette for players who need cleans and leads from the same guitar. And because it uses EMG’s solderless wiring system, swapping it into your seven-string is far less of a soldering-iron ordeal than a traditional pickup install.
