i've got EMG's, just a heads up 99% of the ppl on this forum don't have EMG's and therefore hate them by default. but in my opinion they are sweet as and damn perfect at things (maybe 2 perfect compared to standard pickups, which give em a lil less character), plus u can get em real close to the strings and real far away (because of magnetic impedence or somn a rather) so one of my pickups comes through clean no matter how much gain there is, and the other comes through beautifully distorted.
