Re: old EMGs

Old Emgs didn't have a imprint for the Emg in Silver. It fades off, and the back looks like a EMG.

Re: old EMGs

Well that is an EMG sticker... weather its genuine or not, cant tell for sure. Send the pic to a tech at EMG and theyll tell you for sure.

THE pickup was spray painted black... theoretically we should still see an imprint if there was one, but it may have just "run full" [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: old EMGs

Well I'll see if I get it. Imprint is the same like gravure, isnt it?
But if its an EMG 81 30€ is a cool price.

Re: old EMGs

Well, finally got that piece of shit.
No, screws or jake delivered.
But is it normal that the screw-holes are that BIG?

Re: old EMGs

If they took the threaded brass inserts out of it, then yeah the holes would be that big.

Looks like an older EMG to me, but the legs do look odd. Maybe it was white originally and painted black except the bottom?

Re: old EMGs

I just read something about PUs being direct mounted having bigger screw-holes.
Well, anyway, I fixed that problem.
