EMG-JH-BBC. Pickup Set James Hetfield Signature Kit Brushed Black Chrome.
The JH Set is a whole new dimension for EMG, with the design driven entirely by James Hetfield's input. In early 2009, James Hetfield approached EMG Pickups President Rob Turner and presented him with a challenge: to create a set with a "stealth" look that captures the clarity and punch of a passive pickup, yet retains the legendary active tone that shaped 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 JH-B (bridge). Both were patterned after the pickups James had used for 30 years, but the end result was completely different.
The JH-N has individual ceramic poles and coils that have a larger core and are taller than the 60 model.
This provides more attack, higher output and fuller low end in the neck position. The JH-B uses the same type of core but has steel poles, unlike the 81 model which uses bar magnets. This provides the familiar tight attack with less inductance for a cleaner low end.
