You can get information at both www.emgpickups.com and www.harmonycentral.com

Harmony Central allows you to get reviews from a user's point of view.

Here's my opinion: the 81 is more for soloing, lead guitar parts with a bright attack The 85 is more of a rhythm pickup, due it its thick, beefy low end.[/url]
