Hey guys. Any of you know of any guitars that come stock with an EMG 81?Any of you know what might be a similarly eq'd, but equally high powered replacement?
Thank you.

Lots of LTD guitars do, and the Schecter Hellraiser 6 strings do.

That's about it, man. Jacksons, Schecters and ESPs, unless you're looking at spending $1,400 on a Fender Flathead Showmaster or something.

Re: EMG equipped guitars and replacements
i like my mustaines better, they are way higher output IMO, too high for my pedals i have to turn the volume pot down quite a ways to get the same gain as the maxed emg 81 (which was modded for 18v btw) i loved the EMGs but the string noise was getting on my nerves big time and wanted something a little more organic (which they are) Im not sure if i will sell the EMGs though because i am so used to them

If you went back to 9v, the 81 would sound gainier.

The question asked was which axes come with an 81b. No mention was made of a specific price point.
BTW, LTD's Les Paul-a-like and the Kirk Hammet super strat also come with an 81.

Re: EMG equipped guitars and replacements
I had a push pull pot to switch from 9v to 18v, not really much gainier at 9v, just muddier IMO

Well then you must know that the only reason Alexi uses the HZ is because he uses a gain booster, and through his setup actives sound too distorted.

Re: EMG equipped guitars and replacements
lol, that's such a dumb solution. His tone is terrible anyway so I don't know why anyone would ever want to 'emulate' it :laugh2:

Re: EMG equipped guitars and replacements
I don't really find many tones out of EMG's not interesting!Marty Friedman's tone with one JB still owns so many hi-gain guitars ,i can't really believe that people still try to go with 81.The 60 is the only EMG i would recommend ,but i never tried the 89 tho.
