EMG JH-SET James Hetfield Set, Gold Overview

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. Now available in EMG Metal Works Finishes and 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.

I’m pretty biased when it comes to the Het-Set, they’re the best sounding pickups I’ve ever used, the gain on them is incredible, so much so that you can dial it back a little on a high-gain amp and they still pack a huge punch. I love the clanging and banging of the strings on a guitar, the percussive sound of them, so it’s easy to hear that Hetfield was aiming for that when dialling these in, the clarity is unmatched! (Also they look super sleek in gold)
