There are mixed reviews on the EMG 81. People are confused because there is not much said about how it works or if it's just any better than the standard pick up. The EMG 81 is "suppose" to increase separation between the overtones, offer a greater volume limit, and a quicker response time when keys are played. The info given out to customers does not give them enough to go on to go and purchase one.

Should the EMG 81 be in the guitar neck for leads and the EMG 85 on the guitar bridge for rhythm?
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.
Where can an emg 81 85 be purchased?
The EMG 81/85 set can be purchased through most music stores that deal in instruments and musical equipment. Guitar Center is also a great place to pick stuff like this up if you happen to have one of those available. If neither of these are an option, they are available online at places like Musician's Friend, Guitar Center's website, and eBay.

Can an Ibanez RG120 be converted from an Passive Guitar to an Active Guitar without having to make room for the battery?
Yes, but you have to find a cavity for this battery. A good place is under the guard where the electronics are stored. This is where I keep the battery in my RG120 after I replaced the stock INF4 with an EMG 81. I also did the 18v mod to make the pickup a little hotter. Do a search for EMG 81 18v mod for details. It's quite simple to do and will make your RG120 scream.
What are the best guitar pickups?
its all a matter of taste these are some of the best to me and what I'd play Seymour Duncan Invaders (really high output for metal) Seymour Duncan Blackouts EMG 81 (best EMG bridge pickup) EMG 89 (its like 2 pickups instead of one) Dimarzio X2N (amazing for metal) Dimarzio D-Activator (great neck pickup) or go with what your guitar gods use Steve Vai has Breed and Evolution pickups Kerry King, Zakk Wylde and so on have signature EMG's best thing to do other than trying them is to youtube them
Good electric pick ups?
Well EMG is probably your best bet. You pickup depends on the type of music you play. EMG 81(lead) and 85(rhythm) are for most types of rock. Higher output pickups are crunchier and for harder rock.
