Does EMGs make every guitar sound the same?

I love the sound of EMG pickups, they pretty close to my favorite pickup for clean tones. My favorites would have to be the SA's... and no I don't think they sound the same in every guitar. Some amps bring out the difference more than others just like how some amps bring out the difference of coil taps/splits more than others.

I don't think EMGs sounds same from every guitar. Let's take les paul traditional and Classic custom as an example. They have the same pickups, same body woods and neck. The difference is the fretboard. Classic custom has Baked maple, and traditional has rosewood. Rob Chappers compared these two guitars, and the traditional les paul sounded darker, although they have the same pickups. And it would work that way with EMGs in my opinion
