Description
The EMG H2 is what happens when you take a classic vintage-wound humbucker and slip a ceramic magnet under the hood instead of the usual alnico. The result is a pickup that keeps the traditional feel of vintage coil winding but hits with the tighter, more aggressive push you get from ceramic. It’s a go-to for players who want vintage voicing with a bit more spine behind it — think classic humbucker character that doesn’t back down in the mix.
Like the rest of EMG’s passive line, the H2 uses their 5-wire quik-connect setup, so you’re not locked into one wiring scheme — split coils, series/parallel, phase tricks, whatever your control cavity can handle. Full shielding keeps hum in check, and pairing it with string grounding tightens things up even further for a genuinely quiet, low-noise output.
Specs for the H2 Vintage Passive Humbucker (Neck):
- Inductance: 4.53 Henries
- DC Resistance: 8.4 kOhm
- Resonant Frequency (1): 2225 Hz
- Resonant Frequency (2): 4000 Hz
- Impedance at Resonance (1): 63.3 kOhm
If you like the idea of a vintage-style neck humbucker with some extra bite baked into the magnet, the H2 delivers exactly that — familiar warmth with a bit more push behind it.
