{"product_id":"emg-89-guitar-pickup-used-comm","title":"EMG 89 Guitar Pickup, (Used, Comm)","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"2\" data-end=\"546\"\u003eThe EMG 89 is an active humbucking pickup designed for electric guitar, combining a full humbucker mode with an internally integrated single-coil mode within the same housing. It uses Alnico V magnets and active low-impedance circuitry powered by a 9V battery. The pickup is built around a dual-voice architecture derived from combining an EMG 85-style humbucker section with an SA-style active single-coil circuit, selectable through push-pull or switching systems. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"548\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eIn humbucker mode, the EMG 89 produces a warm, high-output response with pronounced sustain, thick mids, and smooth high frequencies. When switched into single-coil mode, the pickup activates a separate internal coil structure that delivers a brighter, more open response with sharper attack and increased clarity. Unlike passive coil-splitting systems that disable one coil, the EMG 89 switches between two fully active voicings designed independently within the same pickup housing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1542\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe pickup is commonly used in versatile setups requiring both modern humbucker output and articulate single-coil textures without changing instruments. Its active design maintains low noise levels and consistent output across both modes, making it suitable for high-gain distortion, clean passages, and switching-heavy performance applications.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"USED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56798644175228,"sku":"EMG 89 Guitar Pickup, (Used, Comm)","price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/DSC07275_a59a835d-0927-401c-95c1-1934dc043bc5.jpg?v=1779372602","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/emg-89-guitar-pickup-used-comm","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
