: I was thinking about buying an EMG-81 and putting it in the bridge position on my Ibanez RG550. I was just wandering if any of you guys know of any pickups that are better than EMG. I am talking for Heavy metal, I like to use lots of harmonics and soloing...do you guys know of anything better than the EMG's?

Hey there...for the type of stuff you want to play, the EMG81 would be a good choice. Have to make sure there's room in the control cavity for a 9v battery though. I use an 81 in my Gibson SGX and the thing drives both tube and solid state amps pretty good. It's also a good choice if you have a Floyd Rose on your Ibanez as there are no poles on the pickup to have to line up with strings.
