SOLD: EMG 85 pickup - £25 posted.

AlnicoAlnico Frets: 4610
edited April 2020 in Parts £
From a recent sale which I'm not going to drag the entire thread up for just this one part, the sale fell through (Not on tFB) and it's still here.
EMG 85 which is the Alnico Magnet model.
As old as the hills for a reason, sounds awesome in bridge or neck position.
It's from 2003, got some playing marks and one "Nick" out of the treble side, not too deep but certainly noticeable. Pictured for reference.
 It's the older style logo with the original square font.
Has NOT been drilled out for body-fitment and threads are fine. The guitar I used it in had a pick guard.

Works perfectly, recently played it in my Ibanez before I took it apart.
No leads, no box (Will be packed properly) just a pickup that doesn't look new. Might suit an older guitar with existing EMGs that wants to try a different flavour.

£25 posted. *SOLD*

    Now back up for sale again after being "Held" for someone who's gone silent.

    Some EMG Wiring spares are available too if you need them.

    Have you got any pots/jack sockets or battery clips for it ? This might be the very thing for my Steinberger Mini Vee

    I have some of that stuff. Give me half an hour and I’ll photograph what’s there. It was leftovers from 3 different kits so it’s entirely likely most of what you need is there. 

    Back soon

    Cool, it’s a single volume, no tone setup if that helps ?

    @DrBob ;;;;;

    I have:

    1 Tone Pot
    1 Volume Pot (Not in photo, currently residing in project guitar as a mock up, easily removed and barely used like all this stuff)
    1 Stereo Jack socket
    1 Connection Bus
    2 Power connector blocks
    1 Power lead (Cut because I built an 18V harness for my guitar, easily soldered or you do the same with another battery clip)
    2 15" Pickup connecting wires with solder less plugs at both ends. Was fitted into a Ibanez RG, full length, easily fit Strat etc)
    1 Interconnecting wire goes between pots
    1 Output interconnection wire to go to Jack socket...Spade connectors clipped off for soldering to jack.
    1 Wiring Diagram

    I have an EMG box, easily posted.

    £20 for the wiring kit
    £25 for the pickup 

    All Prices include 1st class post.
