Description
The EMG H4A leans on an Alnico 5 magnet to deliver a voice that’s thick in the midrange and generous up top, without ever feeling muddy. Drop it in the bridge if you want a pickup that pushes back — this one’s got punch and attitude to spare, making it a natural fit for players chasing a rock-forward edge.
Blues players take note: the H4A’s warmth and dynamic response make it just as comfortable dialed back for expressive, vocal-like leads. It also pairs beautifully with its sibling, the H4, a combination famously used in Epiphone’s Zakk Wylde “Bullseye” model — proof this pickup can handle both aggression and nuance.
Like the rest of EMG’s HZ lineup, the H4A ships with the exclusive 5-wire quik-connect setup, giving you flexibility to wire it in series, parallel, split-coil, or out-of-phase configurations without a soldering headache. Full shielding keeps hum to a minimum, and if you want to squeeze out even more noise, EMG recommends adding string grounding.
