I find this statement odd. The EMG 81 is one of the tighest sounding pickup out there. Excellent pickup for clear note definition and fast attack. I haven't played a pickup that is as tight sounding as the EMG 81 yet. For stuff like Megadeth, Metallica (think Battery, Trapped under Ice, One), the EMGs are hard to beat.
