Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'long shaft' mean on this pickup?
Long shaft refers to the output jack configuration, which accommodates specific guitar cavities and wiring setups. Verify your guitar's pickup cavity depth and existing wiring before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Is this pickup active, and what does that mean for my amp settings?
Yes, the 89X-R is an active humbucker, meaning it contains an onboard preamp powered by a 9V battery. Active pickups output a hotter, lower-impedance signal, so you may need to adjust your amp's input gain compared to passive pickups.
What genres and styles is the 89X-R best suited for?
This pickup excels in modern rock, metal, and high-gain styles where clarity and controlled output are essential. Its articulate response works well for both rhythm and lead work in recording and live performance.
What comes in the box?
The package includes the pickup itself and installation hardware. Consult the included wiring diagram or EMG's support resources for proper installation and battery box setup.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $10 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
