Frequently asked questions
Are these pickups actually different, or just different colors?
They are functionally identical. Both are EMG M-80 Active Mini Humbuckers with the same ceramic magnet, low-impedance output, 9V active circuit, and solderless install system. The only difference is cosmetic: White vs. Ivory finish.
Which one sounds tighter for metal and high-gain?
Both sound identical. Each delivers tight low-end, controlled response, and minimal noise—the defining traits of the M-80 design. Your amp and technique matter far more than color choice.
Do either of these work with Floyd Rose bridges?
No. EMG does not recommend either M-80 model for Floyd Rose bridges due to mounting constraints, regardless of color.
How long does the battery last on either pickup?
Both draw only 1.3 mA at 9V in a 2-pickup system, providing extended battery life. Typical lifespan is several months to over a year depending on playing frequency.
