James Hetfield signature pickup set for electric guitar

This set captures the clarity and the punch of a passive pickup, yet retains the legendary, active tone that has shaped a generation. Designed after the pickups that James has used for 30 years, the end result was however a very different animal; expect a more power and fuller bass at the neck, and a tighter attack with less inductance for a clearer bass on the bridge.

Really good pickups

Vincent Chambers 25.09.2018

I bought these to put in my custom modded Epiphone Les Paul.
They had a quick and easy solderless installation (apart from one small part) And they sound absolutely amazing! The clean tones are warm and clear and the driven sounds are as amazing as you would expect from a James Hetfield signature set! Cannot recommend these enough!

The EMG JH "HET" Set C is a joint creation between EMG and renowned Metallica guitarist James Hetfield. Here are a few key features and benefits of this set:

Powerful Sound: These pickups are designed with the metal sound in mind, and they offer a powerful, aggressive and clear tone. They are ideal for riffs, solos, and heavy sounds, making them a great choice for metal and hard rock musicians.

High sensitivity: The pickups are highly sensitive, allowing them to respond to the dynamics of your playing. They capture every nuance of your playing style, making your guitar sound more expressive and dynamic.

Easy Installation: Installation of EMG JH "HET" Set C pickups is quite simple thanks to their standard size and design. They are compatible with most guitars and require minimal effort to install.

Reliable and durable: EMG is known for its quality components and long-lasting pickups. The pickups in this set feature a solid construction that provides consistent and reliable sound for years to come.

The sound and feel 18 year old you was looking for.

I bought these pickups to replace the stock epiphone humbuckers in my SG pro G400. I like the pickups that were in that guitar but with the style of music I am playing, I found that they did't cut through or even hold a compressed volume level similar to that of my EMG equipped Telecaster (EMG 81 in the bridge, single pup). Installation was simple and painless, only thing I had trouble with was finding t a space for the 9V battery, with a little creativity and some tape though, it sits in the cavity totally fine.

Would highly recommend these pickups to anyone who is getting into the world of heavy metal playing with high gain as these will offer a clean, even sound with a bit of a volume bump on any passive pickups that they may already be using. These also handle cleans amazingly and if you are recording through an amp sim, active pickups with their naturally more compressed signal actually work as great DI tracking options. I can also recommend these to anyone who wants to get themselves into the world of modding their instrument, this is a solder-less installation (if you opt for the EMG toggle switch as an extra, which is NOT included in the main package), it's a great way to make your instrument feel even more like a bespoke musicians tool.

If you are ordering these though - have a note of the length of your routes in the guitar itself, I ended up ordering these again (I know, fanboy) for my explorer and required the 15" battery connection cable as a secondary purchase, take a note of that and plan your instrument before purchasing these or any replacement electronics for your instrument.
