My EMG 81/85's are pretty much only good for a rock sound. I hate how they sound clean. Its not that they don't clean up, its just that they sound like shit clean... no tone at all, very sterile. I do like how they sound though, just the cleans sound bad to me.

Ill keep them in one guitar always for sure, but the rest of my future Les Pauls will have other pups in them..
