EMG 81/60 Original Logo Active Humbucker Pickup Set

The EMG 81/60 Original Logo active humbucker pickup set pairs two classic EMG guitar pickups in a limited-edition 50th Anniversary set. It combines the high-output 81 with the clear, articulate 60, giving players a solderless active pickup upgrade for powerful rhythm work, focused leads, and defined clean passages.

Built for guitarists who want an EMG 81/60 pickup set for metal, hard rock, studio tracking, or stage performance, this set delivers a proven active humbucker configuration. The 81 uses ceramic magnets for high output and cutting response, while the 60 provides ceramic-powered treble clarity and strong single-note definition.

The black Original Logo pickup caps give the set a vintage EMG visual style while keeping the modern installation experience. EMG’s solderless install system includes long shaft 25k volume and tone pots, pickup cables, connect cables, output wiring, mounting hardware, and battery wiring for a complete two-pickup active system installation.
