Description
Gary Holt didn’t just play the riffs that shaped Bay Area thrash with Exodus and later locked in as Slayer’s touring guitarist — he did it with EMGs the whole way, and those custom red caps EMG made just for him became as much his signature as his playing. Now that Red Series look and this exact pairing are yours to install.
The GH Set puts an EMG 81 in the bridge, delivering the aggressive midrange bite and controlled, tight sustain that thrash rhythm work demands without turning to mud under gain. In the neck sits the EMG 89R, a dual-purpose pickup that runs as a full humbucker or splits into an active single-coil voice via its own onboard preamp and coil — meaning you get genuine single-coil character with zero hum, not a compromise. Together they cover crushing rhythm tones and cleaner, more articulate lead and clean voicings from one guitar.
Before you order, check the included measurement specs against your current pickups to confirm fit — EMG’s dimensions can differ from passive designs you might be swapping out.
