When was the last time I had an EMG in my guitar?
So when I got the opportunity to try out the EMG 57/66 TW set, I was stoked and a little nervous – the last time I had active EMGs in my guitar, it was the classic 81/85 set, and I didn’t know how to dial in a sound with them that worked for me.
Which is better EMG 81 / 60 or HET Set?
The neck on the het set is really really cool. It stays nice and clean on a clean tone (still sounding warm and full), can break up a tad if you dig in and have a bit of gain on the clean. When distorted its not muffely and can get nice and smooth. Overall the het set is better than the 81/60 imo.
