Description
EMG F-H1 Long Shaft Passive Humbucker Pickup in Black
The EMG F-H1 is a fully shielded passive humbucker engineered for bridge-position installation in Floyd Rose–equipped guitars. This over-wound ceramic magnet design delivers focused aggression and articulate midrange presence, capturing traditional humbucker response without active circuitry—ideal for tracking high-gain sources that need clarity and definition in the mix.
Recording Tone & Frequency Response
Over-wound coils paired with ceramic magnets produce a resonant peak at 1.65 KHz, emphasizing clarity and definition across the frequency spectrum. A DC resistance of 13.65 kOhm and inductance of 7.15 Henries yield controlled output suitable for recording high-gain applications without excessive mud, while the passive design preserves natural string dynamics and picking nuance—critical for achieving transparent, articulate takes in the studio.
Installation & Studio Compatibility
The 5-wire Quik-Connect connector accommodates multiple wiring configurations for tonal shaping and coil-splitting flexibility during production and post-production refinement. Precision Floyd Rose pole spacing (.410" / 10.41mm) ensures exact string alignment and optimal magnetic coupling on Floyd-equipped bridges, eliminating the need for custom modification and streamlining session setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this pickup compatible with my Floyd Rose bridge?
Yes. The F-H1 features precision pole spacing of .410" (10.41mm) matched to Floyd Rose string-to-string spacing, ensuring exact alignment and optimal magnetic coupling without custom modification.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup best suited for?
The F-H1 excels in metal, hard rock, progressive, and high-gain applications where clarity and articulation matter. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
Does this pickup require a 9V battery like active EMGs?
No. The F-H1 is a fully passive humbucker with no active electronics, so no battery or preamp is needed—it connects directly to your guitar's wiring.
What makes the F-H1 different from active EMG pickups?
The F-H1 is passive, preserving natural string dynamics and picking nuance while delivering controlled output through over-wound coils and ceramic magnets. Active EMG pickups rely on a preamp and battery for higher output and noise rejection.
Can I split coils or use alternate wiring configurations?
Yes. The 5-wire Quik-Connect connector supports multiple wiring configurations and coil-splitting flexibility for tonal shaping.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct.
