Demolishing Tone

Dirty tones. The Demmelition Fury was built to encompass a wide tonal range, but it works incredibly well with saturated, high gain settings. It comes with two high output, active EMG pickups for an all powerful tone which roars with aggression. An EMG 81 in the bridge provides that tight, incredibly clear sound which only an active pickup can create. It will beef up your rhythm licks and make them sound incredibly powerful, emitting minimal noise when not in use. The EMG 85 in the neck position is perfect for lead playing, giving higher notes a seriously scintillating expressive quality and mountains of emotion. In combination, these pickups cover a huge range of tones, and can give you the tools you need to bring every bit of variety you need to your music.
