the whole thing about emgs sound the same in all guitars is a load of bull lol as i have owned guitars with different woods and the emgs sounded totally different.!
It is true that EMGs sound different in different guitars. But after having had EMGs in several guitars and BKs in the same guitars I can tell you that BKs allow far more of the guitars sound through.
EMGs always have an instantly identifiable character that is dominant, and the sound of the guitar is secondary. I know EMGs sound different in different guitars, but I can spot EMGs anywhere, provided its a high-gain sound. It just leaps out. I for one cant do that with any other pickup. You can see that as a detraction from them in that they do suppress the sound of a guitar to a greater degree than other pickups, or as a strength, in that they have their own sound that a lot of people love, including me.
