## Overview

The EMG JH James Hetfield Signature Pickup Set features active pickups designed for high output and clarity, inspired by Hetfield’s 30-year tone evolution.

## Description

Product Description 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. Metal Works consists of six stainless steel cap options for any of EMG's active or passive humbucker pickups. These U.S.A made caps are available in Gold, Chrome, Brushed Gold, Brushed Chrome, and Brushed Black Chrome. These striking new designs offer players and instrument builders a broader range of premium cap options. All the power and clarity of EMG electronics, now with a modern classic look. Set Contains: 1 x pickup set

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will they work with an esp ltd ec-50?**
A: These are designed to replace standard humbuckers, so if your guitar is equipped with standard humbucker pickups these will fit. These may not work if your guitar has mini-humbuckers or P90's, check your pickup cavity for dimensions before ordering.

**Q: Hi, i want this set for an ex 50 ltd guitar, should it fit in? thank you**
A: These should fit fine, it looks like the LTD EX50 is using standard sized guitar humbuckers.   Not sure about the battery fit.  Make sure that there is room in the electronics cavity if you are not willing to route for a separate battery compartment.

**Q: Does this kit have everything i need for a gibson les paul?**
A: No you need a different 3 way toggle for the solderless connection

**Q: Hi, I've seen on emg website that is available two models of this item, for strato and for les paul. Which one is available in your store ?**
A: Hello Rodrigo, These are only available in the Black Nickel finish (shown) and only available in standard humbucker size. They are available in Short (Strat) or Long (Les Paul) shaft versions. Short (Strat) reference is intended for Strat bodies ONLY if your Strat has a humbucker configuration. Les Pauls require a slightly longer shaft due to the curved raised Les Paul top. Hope that helps ProAudioLand
