Two different-sounding EMG 60's... WTF?!

Re: Two different-sounding EMG 60's... WTF?!

it seems that the 81 is even weaker than the 60 in the neck position.

That may just be the different guitars and the pickup height. I prefer how the 81 in the neck sounds when it's a little backed off.

If you bought the lastest one new from a reputable dealer, then its seems like the poorly performing ones may be suspect or non-genuine.

Could be that one of em is a miss-labeled 60-A.

Yep have a H60A in one of my Washburns with a 85 in the bridge. Was about to post that as a possibility. The A would be warmer and rounder with the Alnico V mag.
