Here's another. I'll take some close-up pics of the pups tomorrow. The EMG logo is etched in and highlighted in gold. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Well, in my KE3, I've got the 85 in the bridge and the 89 in the neck which is splittable using the push-pull volume pot. It's not really fair to compare the sound between them since one is in the bridge and the other is in the neck, but I can certainly tell you that they complement each other very nicely.

I have a 85 at the bridge in my Greco Les Paul Custom and it sounds awesome. Although i don't have much experience with Pickups, i think Emg's are the best.
