The P85 uses the same blueprint as our original 85 but is built in a P90 style housing. Featuring close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the P85 is a powerful guitar pickup with exceptional tone and versatility. The Alnico magnets of this model provide a muscular growl and smooth lead tones enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. Although often used in the neck position, make no mistake, the EMG P85 sounds great in the bridge position thanks to its exceptional smoothness and soul. If you want a bigger sound than your current P90, this is a great pickup, and using our solderless system makes changing your tone easier than ever.

great EMG sound/quality in a format I prefer
lox /Reviewed 9/4/2016
I make custom instruments and prefer the P90 format for routing and install.
Put this in a lap steel and when I need warmth and maybe a little growl I throw the 3 way switch to the bridge position and let the P85 work it's magic.
