xadam270x Posted July 29, 2006 Report Share Posted July 29, 2006 ok so i think i am gonna buy some emg select humbuckers to put in my les paul. one of my bros told me that they dont sound all that great, but my playing style is hardcore which is 75% palm muted opens and the rest it within the first couple of frets nad no solos what so ever. if anyone can give me help or feedback on these, and if you need to see the one im looking at i will post up a link. thanx xadamx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazzyone Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 these emg's are not active nor are they like other emg's if you are just looking for an inexpensive change they are fine if your looking for a "HOT" pickup keep looking as these are kinda mellow if your looking for a hot cheap humbucker thry GFS on ebay i had one and it was great for a cheaper replacement also do a forum search you will find others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamSeller Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 I recently put an EMG H4 humbucker in my guitar. I mainly play metal and this fits the profile fine. I dont think its all that much more than the selects either. -Dream Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
