Top! In allen Belangen
the_chemist 23.12.2025
Vorab sei gesagt, für den Preis bekommt man ein Top Produkt!
1. Einbau: Da es sich hier um ein Stecksystem handelt ist auch kein löten notwendig. Daher mit dem mitgelieferten Verkabelungsschema super easy einzubauen.
2. Optik. Das brushed Gold ist wirklich "matt" und weißt keine Mängel auf. Tadellos.
3. Sound. Da die Geschmäcker verschieden sind, ist es schwer eine allgemein gültige Aussage zu treffen. Ich persönlich habe den Bridge-Humbucker Fishman Fluence Classic, der nebenbei gesagt ein guter Tonabnehmer ist aber für mein Geschmack eben ein wenig zu "Classic" im Sound ist und teils breiig klingt bei tiefen Stimmungen. Und genau das macht der EMG besser. Auch bei tiefen Stimmungen richtig kernig und differenzierter. Natürlich auch weil der EMG, natürlicherweise, mit mehr Mitten daher kommt und damit auch im Bandkontext sich gut durchzusetzen weiß. Für meine Welt im Metal also eine klare Empfehlung.
