OVERVIEW
The same pickups made
famous by the Metallica front man, now with a different look.
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 pickups were patterned after the pickups James has 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.
The 81 is the most famous model; the one that started a revolution. Utilizing
powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the tone is endowed with
detailed intensity, incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain.
Traditionally used in the bridge position, this pickup will make your leads
slice right through even the densest mix like a hot knife. When used in both
positions the sound can only be described as blistering. Other recommended
pairings include the classic 81/85 setup and the versatile 81/60 combo.
Metal Works Finishes
Metal Works consists of six stainless steel cap options for any of their active
or passive humbucker pickups. These U.S.A made caps are available in Gold,
Chrome, Brushed Gold, Brushed Chrome, and Brushed Black Chrome. Pioneers of the
"Black Pickup", EMG has become recognizable worldwide and used by
millions of guitar and bass players. The team at EMG is set to make history
again with the introduction of the new Metal Works series. 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.
