I've heard people switch them to that , but good thing about EMG pickups just like any other active pickups on the market you can swap them very easily without brining them to a guitar shop.

you just take out the cable from the pickup and just replace it with say the 81, nothing fancy required... so go for it, some honestly like it more. Its all what you want to do really.

Do you have to buy a special type of guitar or can you use a normal electric guitar for playing rhythm guitar?

you can play rhythm or lead with any guitar, although some are better suited to one. all that depends on what genre of music you prefer to play. but really it's all up to your preference of guitars, some people like the "hardcore" guitars but i strongly prefer the les paul it's a great all around guitar and to me it never really gets "old". but like i said it's up to the player. have fun. ========================== One guitar which is very popular for rhythm players is the Fender Telecaster. Many guitar-playing lead singers play it (Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, Thom Yorke, Joe Strummer, Chrissie Hynde). A major reason is probably because the Telecaster has a very cutting sound, which allows full, overdriven chords to be played without sounding muddy. Also, it allows the rhythm part to cut through the other guitar players.Gibson has a stable of guitars that are great for rhythm -- the SG (Angus Young, Tony Iommi), the Flying V (James Hetfield, Rudolf Schenker) and of course the Les Paul (Jimmy Page, Slash, Stone Gossard, Gary Rossington, Joe Perry). Generally the vintage, classic-rock rhythm guitar sound is the sound of a Gibson Les Paul. A band with two guitar players can get much tonal colour and diversity going by combining a Fender with a Gibson. Pearl Jam (McCready plays a Strat, Gossard plays a Les Paul) and Guns N' Roses (Slash plays a Les Paul and Izzy Stradlin' often plays a Telecaster) often take advantage of this combination, using the Gibson for thick, warm sounds and the Fender for piercing, trebly leads and riffs. Gretsches and Rickenbackers have a distinct rhythm sound that can't be achieved with any other guitar. Gretsches tend to have a hi-fi, cutting sound that responds well to chord work, while Rickenbackers have an almost horn-like quality. Malcolm Young of AC/DC plays a Gretsch Jet Firebird, Per Gessle of Roxette plays a Rickenbacker 360. Neil Young's early rhythm sound (eg. "Ohio") is also in great part because of his Gretsch White Falcon. If you're playing high-gain modern metal, then you will probably want a "superstrat" or any other humbucker-equipped guitar with a very fast action and flat fretboard, usually equipped with DiMarzio or EMG pickups. Any guitar is fine for lead or rhythm.IF YOU HAVE A SLECTER SWITCH, SET IT TO THE BRIDGE PICKUP...IF YOU HAVE A STRACTOCASTER, SET IT TO EITHER THE BRIDGE OR BRIDGE AND MIDDLE...no you don't you can use any guitar, the difference is in what you are playing, not what guitar you have

What is the bridge used for in music?

The bridge is the part of the guitar where the strings connect to the guitars body. Not to be confused with the fretboard end where they strings are tuned, it is actually connected to the body of the guitar. It helps with the acoustics of the sound and on electrics it can be moved around to make a bend-like noise.
