EMG 89

[MT01]

Is the EMG 89, when in humbucking mode, really comparable to the 85?

Does it sound any good in single coil mode?

I currently have an 85 in the neck of my RG550 but I'm toying with the idea of an 89 to get a wider variety of tones.

id say that the 89 sounds like the 85. ive got one in my schecter, very similar characteristics, to the 85 in my LTD
