I've read so many times that EMG pickups sound sterile or simply suck I was convinced of it.
Recently acquired a EMG 81/85 equiped Flaxwood and I must say it's not that bad as many claim.
They surely will never be my favorites. But although they indeed do sound colder and more compressed than most pickups they're actually much more dynamic and open sounding than what I've heard.
What do you think? What is your own experience with them?
