Description
EMG F-Jim Root Daemonum Long Shaft Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Zebra
The EMG Jim Root Daemonum set captures aggressive, articulate high-output performance with the signature clarity that defined Root's recording approach. These active humbuckers excel at translating tight, controlled distortion and percussive attack into a mix, making them ideal for heavy styles where definition matters as much as aggression. The long shaft design accommodates guitars with deeper pickup cavities, while the distinctive zebra coil pattern gives these pickups immediate visual character in your studio setup.
Tone & Recording Performance
Both pickups feature custom Retro Active preamps exclusive to the Root set, delivering a balanced output that maintains clarity across the frequency spectrum without sacrificing punch in dense arrangements. The neck pickup uses ceramic studs paired with a bridge pickup featuring black steel poles and ceramic magnet construction, creating responsive dynamics that track pick articulation with precision during tracking sessions. Active electronics powered by a single 9V battery (600-hour battery life) ensure consistent output and headroom across full sessions, while the 3K DC resistance provides the mid-forward character that sits well in aggressive mixes.
Installation & Studio Integration
The included EMG Solderless Install System simplifies retrofit wiring significantly, eliminating the need for soldering while maintaining professional results. This complete package ships with everything necessary for a full electronics conversion: dual 25K volume and tone controls, stereo output jack, battery connections, mounting hardware, and all required cables—enabling rapid instrument preparation for studio sessions or quick reconfiguration between projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the neck and bridge pickup in this set?
The neck pickup uses ceramic stud construction for responsive dynamics, while the bridge pickup features black steel poles with ceramic magnet construction for increased aggression and bite. Both share the custom Retro Active preamp design and 3K DC resistance that defines the mid-forward character.
Do I need to solder these pickups, or is installation simple?
No soldering required—the set includes EMG's Solderless Install System and a complete wiring kit with volume and tone controls, output jack, battery connections, mounting hardware, and all necessary cables. Installation is straightforward for intermediate players comfortable with basic guitar electronics.
How long does the 9V battery last, and will I need frequent replacements?
The battery provides 600 hours of playtime, which translates to roughly 2-3 months of regular use before replacement. Active electronics require battery power to maintain consistent output and headroom.
Will these pickups fit my guitar, or do I need a deep-cavity model?
The long-shaft design accommodates guitars with deeper pickup cavities. If your guitar has standard-depth cavities, verify shaft length compatibility before purchasing, as the longer shaft is the distinguishing feature of this set.
What playing styles and tunings are these pickups best suited for?
These pickups excel in metal, hard rock, djent, and other aggressive styles, especially with drop tunings where tight low-end control and articulate clarity are critical. They are not designed for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
