Description
Before EMG made active pickups a household name, the H was the design that started it all. Launched in 1974 as the very first noiseless single-coil pickup, it packs genuine single-coil character—snap, sparkle, and harmonic complexity—into a humbucker-shaped housing that drops straight into HH or HSH routing without any hum-inducing compromises.
The H’s frequency response spans wide and even, so chords ring out with real separation between notes instead of blurring together, which is exactly what rhythm players chasing definition are after. Flip to lead duties and that same openness gives your picking attack a bright, immediate edge that cuts through a mix rather than hiding in it. If you want single-coil bite but can’t (or won’t) deal with 60-cycle hum, this is the pickup EMG built to solve that problem decades ago—and it still does the job.
Every H ships ready for EMG’s solderless install system, so getting it wired into your guitar is fast and iron-free.
