Description
EMG F-Jim Root Daemonum Long Shaft Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Black
The EMG F-Jim Root Daemonum set captures the aggressive, articulate character Jim Root engineered for high-gain metal tracking and mixing. These active humbuckers cut through dense mixes with clarity and precision, responding with immediate attack and tight low-end definition that translates clearly to tape or DAW. The long shaft design accommodates deeper pickup cavities found on many modern metal instruments.
Electronics & Power
Active circuitry powered by a single 9V battery (rated for 600 hours of operation) ensures consistent output and gain regardless of cable length or impedance. The 3K DC resistance provides the focused, articulate response characteristic of EMG's active designs, with minimal noise and maximum definition across all playing dynamics—essential for layering heavy guitar tracks in the studio.
Installation & Components
The solderless install system eliminates traditional wiring—simply connect the included cables and mount the pickups using the provided screws and springs. This complete set includes two 25K volume and tone controls, stereo output jack, battery buss, twin pickup cables (15 inches each), four connect cables, output cable, battery cable, and mounting hardware, making for a fully integrated retrofit or new-build installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level do I need to install these pickups?
Intermediate players and above can handle installation. The solderless system uses simple cable connections rather than traditional soldering, but basic familiarity with pickup cavity layout and electronic assembly is helpful. Complete wiring diagrams and cable harness are included.
How long does the 9V battery last?
EMG rates the battery for approximately 600 hours of operation per charge. Typical gigging and practice use means months of playing before needing replacement.
What's the difference between the neck and bridge pickup in this set?
The neck pickup uses ceramic studs, while the bridge pickup features black steel poles with a ceramic magnet. Both share the same active 3K DC resistance and F-spaced humbucker configuration for balanced, aggressive response across the fretboard.
Will these work in guitars with shallow pickup cavities?
No. These are long-shaft pickups designed for recessed cavities found on modern metal instruments. Standard cavity depths may not accommodate the extended length.
What genres are these pickups best suited for?
Metal, hard rock, djent, and high-gain applications where aggressive attack, articulate clarity, and tight low-end definition are priorities. They are not voiced for jazz, blues, or folk styles.
