EMG 89 Active Alnico Coil Splitting Bridge/Neck Humbucker Guitar Pickup - Black Reviews
EMG's 89 split-coil active pickup pulls double-duty as both a single and dual-coil pickup, each with its own output. On the single-coil side, it's an Alnico loaded stacked EMG SA. And in dual-coil mode, it consists of two Alnico-loaded coils that create a pickup sound similar to EMG's popular EMG 85 humbucker. Using the push/pull volume or tone knob enables you to switch between the EMG 89's single-coil and humbucking sounds. Included are EMG's exclusive Quik-Connect cable and a prewired push/pull volume/tone control set with the EMG 89.

EMG-89
Tasty attack and very good sustain. Versatile tonality in both double and single coil settings. Very quiet and reliable in all situations. High gain, low gain, and clean when you want it to be. Highly recommend this for any dual coil humbucker situations.
EMG, the best pickups ever.
I have the 89 in my custom V guitar and it works great. I also use the 81s & the 85s in all my other guitars.
It would be good If you add a bigger selection of colors.
