So, I may be a little bit biased. I believe these pickups are wonderful alternative to the 81-85 set. I have had the 81/85 set into guitars and I've always been a little disappointed and them because for my taste the 85 is a little bit to low end with not enough cut. And at the time I could not find an 81-60 set or the EMG 60 by itself. So I tried this set out of necessity. And I'm very very pleased they have great distortion but also very good clarity on the clean. I'm playing them through a Orange Crush CR-60c and I have zero complaints. In my opinion they sound similar to the James Hetfield set but a little a tiny bit less hot and so they give in my opinion a a little bit smoother clean tone where to my ear the James Hetfield set have a tiny bit of breakup on the clean. What impresses me most is this set seems to have almost as good of a warmth as a passive pickup but still maintains all the advantages of an active pickup. I am a metal guitarist but I still love a warm clear crisp clean tone and in my opinion paired with the right amp this pick up set love the best job of giving the player the best of both worlds that I have heard yet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Like new or luck or the draw? Take a chance! *by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2019* I ordered these like new because it was $80 cheaper to save a little. To my surprise I almost could not tell when they arrived that they were even used. The package was sealed with an Amazon Inspected sticker and all of the contents inside appeared to be factory sealed except for a wiring harness bag. Since it was not new the first thing I did was ensure all of the contents were present (EMG sends a wiring diagram that has pictures of what all contents are in the box).I was hesitant with these being used that the chrome would be scratched but nay, it was like new just as described. I sat with my luthier during the install process and while it did take some time I think most people would be fine to use this kit themselves without one. I will say for a les Paul this fits almost perfect. The selector switch chord is a tad too short so that required some work but everything else was a breeze.My les Paul already had a factory battery port installed so I utilized that versus cramming in inbetween the pots. The sound is amazing, obviously there are tons of videos on YouTube for sound clips. All-in-all if there is a Like-new set I would take another chance. You could save money and if it’s not what you want you can utilize Amazon’s return policy and simply buy a new set.Happy playing all! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars In 40 years, the best pickups I have ever owned *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2021* First, these aren't what I would consider to be "heavy metal" pickups like the 81/86 set. They are very warm, subtle, and somewhat understated, although very powerful. They remind me very much of the EMGs in the early '80s that were marketed toward jazz musicians. They are completely quiet, self-grounding, and smooth. And in the upper registers they just sing. I have them in a Gibson LPC and run through a Mesa mini-rectifier, and the tone is always perfect. At least to my ear. I believe they are very much worth the money. However they are the antithesis to the twangy Fender single coil sound.
