In the 1970s, its futuristic look attracted more and more guitarists, and the 1980s propelled it to icon status thanks to hard rock and metal. The \u003cstrong\u003eExplorer 80s EMG\u003c\/strong\u003e carries this \"retrofuturistic\" DNA by paying tribute to the rebellious spirit of the era, while adding a clear focus on big tone, stability, and stage efficiency.\u003cbr \/\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is It For?

The \u003cstrong\u003eEMG 81\u003c\/strong\u003e delivers the typical bite for metal rhythms, with remarkable clarity on complex chords. The \u003cstrong\u003eEMG 60\u003c\/strong\u003e at the neck maintains great definition for leads, with a rounder, more articulated tone.
