Fantastic Pickup!

If you like the EMG 85 then you will love the 85-X. The extra headroom gives this a little more edge while keeping the 85 tone. I put this in the bridge position of my ESP LTD M-1000 and I absolutely love the tone. I play through a Line 6 Spider Valve 212. EMG's exclusive Solderless Quik-Connect system is an awesome idea. My guitar already had EMGs to start with so I didn't have to use it, but this system would make wiring possible for the average person. Once set up, changing pickups is as simple as unpluging the old one and plugging in the new one.
