The Zakk Wylde model features the EMG-85 and EMG-81, as used on his signature bullseye Les Paul.

Review: THE BEST 🙌 - Super happy with these, my this guitar originally came with an EMG 81 set, but a previous owner had swapped them out for passive dimarzio pickups a while back. Going back to the the EMGs made a huge difference in the feel and tone. I have guitars with fishman fluence moderns, fishman fluence keith merrow sets, and lundgren pickups, but honestly I like the feel and tone of these the best out of all 3. For distorted guitar these are absolutely awesome, especially for chugs and fast picking riffs. These aren’t the best for cleans tones, but after rolling the volume down a little it still sounds pretty good. Setup was super easy, even though these came with long shaft pots, I was able to install it on my short shaft guitar by just putting one of the bolts half way up. It is so nice using the solderless kit and not having to fight with wiring it yourself, or paying someone $150 to do it for you. Overall great purchase, I would recommend for anyone who thinks they want a little more out of their guitar.
Review: Easy instal and the sound Awesome! - I Still like my passive pickups, but these are Awesome. Installation was easy, just follow the directions. I will definitely be getting a few more EMG sets. Not just the 81/85.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the zw 81/85 set include the solderless installation kit? i see some buyers saying "yes" and others saying "no."**
A: yes. for me it did. It included everything that I needed to install the pickups. maybe others are saying "no" because they bought each pickup separately. I bought them together in one box. I bought them here on amazon. They arrived in one box with zakk wyldes picture on the box. I had to look at one or two videos that I found on youtube to help me with the installation, but it pretty much took me about an hour to install. just remember to measure EVERYTHING! from the height of the original pickups to the height of the volume and tone knobs.

**Q: Will this fit in a Jackson kelly js32t?**
A: I don't own a Kelley but fits perfect in my Jackson rhoads. So I would say it will fit. There's a diagram for 2 pot installation in the box. Make sure there's enough room for 9v battery in the pot cavity when you install.

**Q: Will these fit in a jackson js32 dinky?**
A: They fit into the cavity of my Jackson Soloist with no problem.

**Q: Does a rechargeable battery work as sufficiently as a standard 9v?**
A: Perfectly. Those pickups work from 7v (old worn battery) to 27v (three batteries in series). The more volts, bigger the headroom. One battery 9v is more than enough for a big sound, and it lasts thousands of hours. Just unplug the guitar cable to conserve the battery. But pay attention to your rechargeables: modern eneloop lithium batteries Keep good charge for years when left unused, while old ni-mh units decay within weeks, being used or not.

I Still like my passive pickups, but these are Awesome. Installation was easy, just follow the directions. I will definitely be getting a few more EMG sets. Not just the 81/85.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bloody awesome pickups
*by S***M on July 3, 2011*

Just received these pickups from amazon last week, and have to say, if you have ever contemplated changing pups and doing it yourself, definately give these a go. Installation was simple, and I had never done this type of thing before. I have to say EMG have put a lot of thought into this set. the installation has been carefully thought out and the instructions are elegant with all the diagrams you should need. NO arcane pictures speckled with geek speak, just clear concise instructions. The pickups themselves are beautiful, especially great for chuggy metal sounds, but when you dial em in right they are very versatile and clean. If you are used to the usual crap passive's that come with most guitars nowadays, these will open up all those sonic possibilities you have been wanting for a long time. For me they are exactly what i wanted, and though they are great for metal and jazzy type of playing, they may be a little crisp for some peoples liking. The reason i say crisp is because they lack that muddy sloppy sound that a lot of pickups seem to favour nowadays, so if you like a muddy sound then maybe these aren't for you, on the other hand though they are incredibly versatile, and at $200 they are more than worth the price of admission. To put things in a pricing perspective, here in Australia these babies tend to clock in at around the $400 mark or close enough. Add to that paying someone to install you can get quoted some insane prices over here (i was quoted anywhere from $600 to $1000). So if you are from Australia and are wanting some EMG's, do yourself a favour, order them from Amazon and do it yourself. The Solderless installation is brain dead easy, almost impossible to got wrong. One note is that i had to resolder my pickup switch, but this was because of my stupidity, this can easily be avoided by cutting the wire further back form the pickup by about 5 centimetres, then all you have to do is strip the end wires and screw them into the bus, nice and simple and solder free. Highly recomended, i love these so much i'm buying another set for another guitar i have coming soon. EMG thank you very much for doing a good job.
