EMGs for my Jackson?

[decadence5423]

I have a Jackson DK2 currently with a humbucker (SD JB) and 2 singles (Duncan Designed) and I've been playing with some guys that have EMGs 85 + 81 humbuckers. I really like the sound and want something similar but I don't know much about EMG pickups. I was figuring getting an 85 but for the singles I have no idea. The DK2 has a 5-way tone selector along with volume and tone knobs. Thanks in advance.

I'd say go fer an SL-20 Steve Lukather system, and sell off the pickguard.

Other than that, I'd test both the 85 and 81 and figure out which one you want for the bridge, then combine it with SA's or SAV's.
