The EMG P was a very interesting test, especially within the context of testing a pile of P pickups. While a lot of folks believe / feel / hear that EMG pickups can sound sterile, we did not feel this while doing our P pickup demos. Our general feeling is that they sound pretty full range. A bit of a scooped mid range can be heard, and this is no doubt a tone that is very appealing to many players.
Put on a good set of headphones and check out the audio demo below to hear it for yourself.
As always, keep in mind that these are generalizations. Your experience could be different depending on many factors.
