EMG JR "Daemonum" Set F-Spaced ZEB

These pickups are amazing.
I threw them into my PRS SE Custom 24 replacing the stock 85/15 Neck & Bridge pickups, I wanted the extra "umph" from actives but with the clarity and fullness of passives and when I saw Jim Root (my favourite guitarist) had a signature set out that he described what kinda pickup I wanted I knew these were the ones for me.

These pickups sound incredible, they are described as being a retro active version of the classic EMG 81/60 and they really do sound like it. I run these into an orange dark terror and they are brutal, but can surprisingly clean up really well on low gain settings on the neck with a slight role off in volume, these are very versatile pickups.

Pros:
The EMG quick connect makes the installation incredibly easy and if you make a mistake, like lets say put the bridge pickup in the neck and the neck in the bridge (yes I did that) its an easy fix.
There versatile.
The big one they sound and feel great to play.

Cons:
The cream in the zebra colour is very bright, if your planing on putting them in a guitar like the PRS SE the cream is quit abit lighter but that's only aesthetic so it shouldn't effect you at all.

Hope this helps anyone looking at these, it will be money well spent.

Гитара Ibanez RG2620ZE 2012. Поменял EMG 60-81 на Daemonum. На клине лютейшая атака. Нек звучит очень приятно. На перегрузе полностью оправдывают своё название. В сравнении с Emg 60-81 и Fokin Majestic звук более "большой" и "злой". Сложно описать словами)) Несмотря на активную природу и какой-то бешенный выхлоп, звукосниматели чувствительны к динамике. Особенно нековый.
-По внешнему виду- Бриджевый звучок выглядит как музейный экспонат. А вот на бриджевом есть несколько недочетов. 1) Не очень пропечаталась эмблема EMG. 2) На пластике есть неровности. 3) Обмоточная лента натянута не плотно на последних витках. Поэтому 4 звезды за качество))
Резюмируя... очень рад покупке) Спасибо Thomann)))

Once I installed one of these I played along to 'Dead Memories' and during the solo I couldn't tell if it was me or Jim Root playing.

In all seriousness, this pickup is absolutely killer; my riffs now have more bite on the bridge, soloing on the neck is creamy as well as chugging feeling like it explodes with more power. Upgrading to this set from a set of Ibanez Quantums genuinely feels like a gamechanger; especially the noiseless system that is on the Daemonums that protects my ears well from the dreadful feedback that my old pickups used to catch.

The pickups can match other high output tones just as well making this a worthwhile upgrade for any metalhead that wants to swap out their pickups for something with more sauce.

The EMG solderless system is incredibly easy to work with. I was able to wire everything together in a few hours despite having little experience working with electronics.

This pickup set is definitely a great upgrade for anyone looking to play loads of metal/rock and can be installed by anyone.

Plus you get a free pick too so that was pretty cool
