EMG JH, James Hetfield Active Humbucker Pickups Black DLC Caps

“...We have to make something unique and historic... It’s stealth, it’s sleek, it’s fast looking…”

In early 2009, James Hetfield contacted EMG Pickups president Rob Turner and presented him with a challenge: to create a “stealth” looking set that captures the clarity and punch of a passive pickup and still retains the legendary active tone that molded a generation.

The EMG JH, James Hetfield Active Humbucker Pickups with Black DLC Caps features EMG's Solderless Installation System components. The JH Set consists of the JH-N (neck) and the JH-B (bridge). Both were patterned after the pickups James had used for 30 years, but the end result was a completely different animal. The JH-N has individual ceramic poles and bobbins that feature a larger core and are taller than the 60. This produces more attack, higher output, and fuller low end in the neck position. The JH-B uses the same type of core but has steel pole pieces, unlike the 81 that uses bar magnets. This produces the familiar tight attack with less inductance for a cleaner low end.

This set includes Black Diamond-like carbon (DLC) plated caps and EMG’s Solderless Installation System so you can get rocking this great tone quick, easily, and sporting a great sleek look!
