Feature:
The noise impedance really works. I use mine with cabs and head and play in large venues with lots of interference and yet when used in combination with a noise gate it stops humming the second you turn your guitar volume down. It

Feature:
This is a mean nasty pickup....must have for any metal guitarist
Quality:
Totally solid. Absolute quality
Value:
I paid $79 a piece. That's about $50 less than I expected to pay when I went "shopping"
Desirability:
Solid black...they look badass
Sound:
Mean, crushing. This is the best rock pick-up ever. High output and absolute crunch removed the necessity of an outboard pre-amp for me. The sustain is unbelievable. My only complaint would be that they are sooooo powerful that they pickup every little noise. Every pickup hole in ALL my guitars will soon be plugged with EMG 81's
Support:
Unknown
Overall:
I expect to be using EMG 81 pickups for a long time. I use them in conjunction with Marshall heads and cabinets. Its definitely the best pickup I've ever tried in 25 years of axemadness. It has given me the tone I want for every note I need to play.
