Why do so many people think EMG pickups are only for metal?

Yes actives have higher output. And yes if your guitar is on 10 and you have actives you will be throwing out more sound.

But cant you play other kinds of music with these pickups?

Mine sound great clean. And also with light dirt on them.

It doesnt have to be 1000% ballz out metal with these pickups.

EMG makes entire lines of pickups for single coil strats and teles. These arent even metal guitars. (traditionally)

Look at EMGs artist list. Its not all metal dudes.....

Who else here uses EMGS for other things besides face melting metal?
