EMG F-H1 Passive Humbucker Pickup in Black
The EMG F-H1 is a bridge-position passive humbucker engineered specifically for Floyd Rose tremolo systems, delivering ceramic-magnet warmth with the mechanical precision Floyd bridges demand. This over-wound design cuts through a mix with articulate midrange and controlled dynamics, making it an ideal choice for producers tracking guitars that refuse to lose definition at the bridge pickup.
Design & Specifications
The F-H1 features Floyd Rose pole spacing of .410" (10.41mm) string-to-string, ensuring perfect magnetic alignment with your tremolo bridge saddles and consistent session-to-session recording performance. Over-wound coils paired with a ceramic magnet structure generate the output and character this pickup is voiced for, without requiring active circuitry or a battery—meaning no noise floor penalties in your recording chain.
Construction & Origin
Built entirely in the United States, this pickup meets EMG's manufacturing tolerances and quality control standards. The passive design eliminates buffer circuits and power dependencies—a straightforward magnetic solution for engineers prioritizing reliability, headroom, and signal integrity in their studio setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this pickup fit my Floyd Rose tremolo system?
Yes—the F-H1 is engineered with Floyd Rose pole spacing of .410" (10.41mm) string-to-string, ensuring perfect magnetic alignment with Floyd Rose bridge saddles. It's a direct drop-in replacement for the bridge position.
Do I need a battery to run this pickup?
No. The F-H1 is a passive design with no active circuitry, so it requires no battery, buffer circuit, or external power. It connects straight to your cable and amp.
Is this pickup suitable for jazz or clean tones?
The F-H1 is voiced specifically for hard rock, metal, and progressive styles. Its over-wound design and ceramic magnet structure produce high output and controlled dynamics optimized for heavy playing; it's not recommended for jazz or folk applications.
How does the F-H1 compare to other bridge pickups like the Seymour Duncan JB Jr or DiMarzio D Activator?
The F-H1 is Floyd Rose-specific in pole spacing and is passive, while the JB Jr and D Activator work across standard bridge positions. All three deliver high output and articulate tone; the F-H1 is the only true Floyd replacement among them.
Where is this pickup made?
The F-H1 is built entirely in the United States and meets EMG's manufacturing tolerances and quality control standards.
