La pastilla en sí sonoramente perfecta, visualmente no es lo que esperaba, la pastilla se nota que es plateada y que le han pintado encima con pintura de dudosa calidad encima, pues ha venido con un ligero picado y se ve que la pintura se caera si la rozas con la pua, sin embargo tengo una emg 81X gold, y se nota mucho mejor, el metal es dorado, no plateado y pintado, la calidad estetica es mucho mejor…

Un classique
Guiom76 06.09.2025
Doit on encore présenter ce célèbre micro.
C'est le premier couleur or que j'achetais.
Tout le monde connaît le sérieux d'EMG, la facilité des branchements sans soudure.
Juste parfait.
