Do EMG's impart more of a characteristic sound to every guitar they're in compared with passives? I have to say yes, and I think the main reason is because so much of the signal is being supplied by the internal preamp (compensating for the comparatively weak magnets), so my theory is that's the common characteristic people hear. However, anyone who thinks they make all guitars with the same woods sound the same is flat-out wrong (judging by personal experience).
