EMG's and Gibson are a nice match. But even though EMG's are more versatile then they are given credit for, they still arent especially good for Jazzy/Blues stuff.
Duncans are probably more suitable if you want a good mix of everything. -------------------- Guitars: Schecter Stiletto Classic, Jackson SLSMG, Ibanez RG-380 Japan, Gibson Les Paul Studio

I agree, EMG's ROCK a Les Paul, but Jazz is for sure not their biggest strength. Since I never played any Jazz myself I can't really give you an advice for suitable pickups, but if you are looking for a rock/metal pickup then get the EMG 81

The battery is not inside the pickups, in most cases the battery (a 9 Volt block) will go into the compartment that has the tone and volume controls. And don't worry, you won't have to change the battery every 2 weeks, as long as you pull out the cable when you are not playing they hold pretty long.
