why do you use EMG's?

A lot more like a Special than a Standard.

I've never liked the idea of having to put batteries in my guitar, there's enough electricity going on already...

Having said that, I find EMGs sound godawful when going clean...

Again which model? I've gotten a fantastic clean tone from the 85's

I've found actives god awful playing clean. I know turn down the knob about 50%. True, but then I don't care for the response. I'd rather use alnico passives.

again what model of actives? that's like me saying all blonds are stupid

81 in the bridge is too ice picky for me. 85 or 89 sounds good high gain or clean to me.

It's actives in general; every time I've played a guitar with 'em, they've had kind of a dead, sterile tone on cleans...
