EMG 81 / 60 Original Logo 50th Anniversary Active HH Humbucker Pickup Set Long Shaft 19mm Black

81 Bridge Attack with a Clearer 60 Neck Voice and Long-Shaft Fitment

The EMG 81 / 60 Original Logo 50th Anniversary Set pairs two established active humbuckers in a limited 2026 release with EMG’s original logo. This Black version uses 19 mm long-shaft controls, making it suited to installations that require the extra shaft length.

The 81 takes the bridge position, where its tight response, long sustain and pronounced high-end cut help keep heavy rhythm parts defined and lead lines sharp. At the neck, the 60 brings a different character, with clear upper frequencies and rich harmonics that give clean passages and lead work more separation from the bridge voice.

EMG’s Solderless Install System is included with two 25k Volume pots, two 25k Tone pots, battery bus, stereo output jack, two-pickup in/out bus, mounting screws and springs, pickup cables, connect cables, output cable and battery cable.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this active humbucker set is a particularly useful match for players who want the focused 81 bridge sound paired with a clearer, more articulate 60 neck pickup in a 19 mm long-shaft format.
