Description
EMG F-H1A Passive Humbucker Pickup in Gold
The EMG F-H1A is a passive humbucker engineered for bridge positions on Floyd Rose–equipped instruments, delivering the tonal clarity and sustain essential for recording modern and vintage material. Its compact footprint and adjustable pole pieces enable precise string-to-string balance in the mix, while the alnico magnet core produces a warm, articulate response that captures detail without excessive coloration. This pickup excels in multitrack sessions where bridge-position definition and harmonic richness are priorities.
Tone & Electronics
Alnico magnets paired with over-wound coils produce a balanced tone with natural compression and harmonic richness. The 5-wire Quik-Connect output with shielding simplifies wiring and minimizes noise, allowing the pickup's full character to emerge without hum or interference.
Design & Compatibility
Built specifically for Floyd Rose pole spacing at 0.410" (10.41mm) string-to-string, the F-H1A mounts securely in guitars engineered for that standard. Adjustable pole pieces let you dial in perfect string-to-string balance and output, accommodating varied string gauges and playing dynamics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this pickup fit my guitar?
The F-H1A is engineered specifically for Floyd Rose pole spacing at 0.410" (10.41mm) string-to-string. It is a drop-in replacement for compatible F-spaced bridge positions; confirm your guitar uses Floyd Rose spacing before purchasing.
What kind of tone should I expect?
The alnico magnet construction paired with over-wound coils produces a warm, articulate tone with natural compression and harmonic richness. You'll get excellent sustain and clarity suited to hard rock, metal, and progressive styles without muddiness in dense mix contexts.
Does it require batteries or external power?
No. The F-H1A is a passive design, meaning it operates without batteries, external power supplies, or active circuitry—just straight-to-your-amp signal with the 5-wire Quik-Connect output.
How do the adjustable pole pieces help?
Adjustable pole pieces let you fine-tune string-to-string balance and output level to match your playing dynamics and string gauges, ensuring even response across all six strings during setup and recording.
How does the Quik-Connect output reduce noise?
The 5-wire Quik-Connect system includes integrated shielding that minimizes hum and interference, allowing the pickup's full character to come through cleanly without external noise contamination.
