I have a new build coming that will be a one piece koa body, flame koa top & pau ferro neck. I was going to put an EMG 85 & 2 EMG S in it, but having talked to my lutheir, he said it would be a shame to put EMGs in such a nice tone wood as EMGs take over the guitar & make everything sound like the EMG & make the wood, somewhat moot. Is this true? Would EMGs take away from the tonal quality of the wood somehow? More so than passive pickups?
