Charvel Model 5FX: EMG-57TW, EMG-81TW or EMG-89R Fit Bridge Position?

[Charvel1975]

Will an EMG-57TW, EMG-81TW or EMG-89R fit the bridge position of my Charvel Model 5FX?

EMG'S site says their Standard EMG humbuckers are 0.9” thick. The 81TW thickness is 1.1”. Difference of 0.22”.

I had an old school EMG81 in my model 2.

That's what's in my Charvel model 5fx right now is the old EMG-81

I kinda liked the emg-85 when I had it in there but it just seemed like the high end got cut. Wondering if the EMG's I mentioned might sound better?

I have one guitar left with EMGs in it and I’ve settled on an 85 in the bridge and a 60 in the neck. I also use the 24v mod but I’m not sure there’s a reason for it.
