Reference price

A classic EMG "dual mode" designed for versatility

The EMG 89 stands out with its "dual mode" concept: inside the same casing, EMG integrates a humbucker and a separate single coil. In humbucker mode, you get a rich, warm, and powerful character, reminiscent of an EMG 85, while maintaining great clarity and excellent articulation.

For which guitarists and styles?

Whether you're looking for a versatile main pickup or an expanded palette of sounds without changing guitars, the EMG 89 performs well in both neck and bridge positions. It suits guitarists who alternate between saturated rhythms and clean passages, and anyone wanting to switch from a tight hard rock register to rounder, more expressive tones, including jazz.

Push/pull split and active electronics: precision, presence, and easy installation

Thanks to the included push/pull, you can instantly switch between the active humbucker (dense, powerful, very present sound) and the single coil (finer attack, airy and bright clarity, close to an EMG SA). Regardless of the mode, the signal remains clean and intact, with strong presence-ideal for standing out in a mix. The EMG solderless wiring system simplifies integration: everything is designed for quick, clean, and reliable installation without soldering skills.

Both positions are recommended for this humbucker format. In the neck position, round and expressive tones can be achieved; in the bridge position, the presence level supports hard rock rhythms.
